245680 2nd.Lt. Arthur Rhys Willis British Army 20th Btn. A Coy. Durham Light Infantry (d.28th July 1917) James Nelson served with the 20th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry and was killed in action on the 28th of July 1917 at Fusilier Wood in the Ypres salient. James has no known grave but is commemorated on the Menin Gate. He was killed at the same time as Second Lieutenant Arthur Rhys Willis and 4 others and the officer has a grave at Dickebusch New Military Cemetery. According to regimental records these people were killed by artillery fire and its my guess that whatever remains there were, are probably all together in this grave.
