It's a privilege to work in Whitehall where I am able to witness many significant national events. Today I attended the service marking the 90th anniversary of the Great War Armistice, held at the Cenotaph.

This gallery is dedicated to my Great Uncle, Private Arthur Aldridge who served with the 2nd/1st Bucks Battalion, Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry and died aged 19 in the Battle of Fromelles on 19 July 1916. He is commemorated at the Loos Memorial but he is listed by the Ministry of Defence as one of the British soldiers whose remains may have been found buried near Pheasant Wood and he may now be reburied in the new Fromelles Cemetery, dedicated on 19 July 2010. His remains are as yet unidentified.
