:08:00. > :08:07.sure with such projects. We would be very disappointed if it was not

:08:35. > :08:38.from the imposing Thiepval Lemorial in the heart of the former Great War
:08:39. > :08:41.battlefields of France. Tonight we'll be looking
:08:42. > :08:43.at the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Comlission
:08:44. > :08:45.who are charged with the upkeep of this and many other monulents
:08:46. > :08:48.and cemeteries dotted across this This is the largest of the four
:08:49. > :09:11.memorials to missing soldiers ` As you dry across the battldfield
:09:12. > :09:16.you will pass broadside cemdteries. The are 200 headstones of British
:09:17. > :09:21.soldiers. We were filming at one of them today and we were struck by the
:09:22. > :09:29.number of freshly laid Brithsh breeds left there by familids. One
:09:30. > :09:40.in particular caught my attdntion. `` reads. It said we have found you
:09:41. > :09:44.at last, we love you, we miss you. Our reporter has been taking a
:09:45. > :09:51.closer look at the work the war commission does. With skill and
:09:52. > :09:56.patience the new headstone hs prepared. There are hundreds of
:09:57. > :10:01.thousands to maintain and it is the responsibility of the Commonwealth
:10:02. > :10:04.War Graves commission. Many people are discovering what happendd and
:10:05. > :10:08.what they are family members have done. To come here is a special
:10:09. > :10:15.experience. Something peopld have not seen before. Like all the
:10:16. > :10:19.Memorial Gardens this one is neat and tidy but it is special because
:10:20. > :10:27.falling German soldiers lie next to British. When you see it here laid
:10:28. > :10:34.out in front of you it just brings it home. I am surprised at how well
:10:35. > :10:42.they have been kept. It is `n opportunity to pay our respdcts and
:10:43. > :10:52.see what happened, an opportunity to appreciate gave their lives. The
:10:53. > :10:57.lives of these two men were ended four years apart but now thd line
:10:58. > :11:14.together. For many visitors, the number of visitors are almost too
:11:15. > :11:19.much to take in. My father was with the fifth dragoons guards, she would
:11:20. > :11:25.never talk about the war, hd would say you do not want to know anything
:11:26. > :11:34.about that. To come to another country and pay my respects, I know
:11:35. > :11:40.they have been looked after. My grandfather, I found his dog tag a
:11:41. > :11:53.couple of weeks ago and one or two mementos. She survived but he was
:11:54. > :12:06.gassed at the second Battle of May. It is the really important legacy.
:12:07. > :12:13.The men and women that gave the lives to still be here todax. The
:12:14. > :12:21.families are really moved bx the tear and attention your work has put
:12:22. > :12:27.into this. That is what mothvates us most of all, to strive for standards
:12:28. > :12:34.of excellence in horticulture, it is for the families we do that. What is
:12:35. > :12:46.the scale of the operation? We have 400 gardeners. There are 540,00
:12:47. > :12:52.headstones in France alone. It is an enormous operation. Speaking to you
:12:53. > :12:57.with your horticultural hat on, a a lot of families appreciate the
:12:58. > :13:03.planting, they are the sort of plants you might find in an English
:13:04. > :13:11.garden. That is right, it is to create the effects of an English
:13:12. > :13:19.country garden. Often in thd smaller plots we can replay that effect
:13:20. > :13:27.There is a sequence of plants, low herbaceous plants to not obscure the
:13:28. > :13:37.headstones. They are now growing? That is very thoughtful. And we have
:13:38. > :13:43.a rose with a long period of flowering and medium`sized plans for
:13:44. > :13:47.aviation in texture and scale. I am sure everyone will applaud xou that
:13:48. > :13:54.so much thought has gone into how these cemeteries are planted. Of
:13:55. > :13:58.course, in the immediate aftermath of the war the cemeteries where in
:13:59. > :14:16.Norway as elegant as they are now. The beautiful lime stones used to
:14:17. > :14:18.mark the graves replaced telporary crosses made out of anything troops
:14:19. > :14:21.had to hand, old ammunition boxes, In the years
:14:22. > :14:24.after the war the improvised markers were replaced with these faliliar
:14:25. > :14:33.whitish headstones. On a visit to
:14:34. > :14:36.a rededication ceremony in the 920s the mother of one soldier khlled
:14:37. > :14:54.in the war took the cross home to Growing up in Nottingham his
:14:55. > :15:03.remembrance was more than a sepia picture. This cross once hung above
:15:04. > :15:08.his bed. It is 40 years since I last saw this cross. It disappeared from
:15:09. > :15:16.my life because it has been in VDS museums. It has also been in
:15:17. > :15:22.storage. I have never set exes on it since the day it went so it is quite
:15:23. > :15:27.touching to lay my hands on it again. It marked the grave of his
:15:28. > :15:35.great, great`grandfather. Hhs mother research the story. Your gr`ndad
:15:36. > :15:42.always wanted to find out where his father was buried. George 's mother
:15:43. > :15:47.went back to France, the salvation army to card there about 1920 we
:15:48. > :15:57.think. She brought the wooddn cross back with her. Healers Wear it stood
:15:58. > :16:03.almost 100 years ago. The gravestone says he died on the 25th of March
:16:04. > :16:16.1918. The inscription, God knew best, duty nobly done. Here is an
:16:17. > :16:30.extract from a dive York th`t day. `` diary. They finally passdd out by
:16:31. > :16:36.the sight of men with duty `nd self`sacrifice, getting up there own
:16:37. > :16:41.lives that others may live hn freedom. Another great War soldier
:16:42. > :16:48.who did not return home. Given the scale of these, the names written on
:16:49. > :16:53.the panel there, it would bd easy to imagine most soldiers did not return
:16:54. > :17:03.but the opposite was the case. One soldier is Mr Glendenning who has
:17:04. > :17:10.now passed away but his account of the war was recorded by the BBC At
:17:11. > :17:14.the time it was considered too harrowing to broadcast but note
:17:15. > :17:21.sections of it are online. Our reporter has been listening. The
:17:22. > :17:24.enemy fire was not too bad for the first 200 yards but all of the
:17:25. > :17:34.sudden there was horrific m`chine gun fire. He has been speakhng to
:17:35. > :17:38.the BBC 50 years after about his own wartime experiences. There `re some
:17:39. > :17:47.parts of this street in Derby that he would still recognise. Ntmber 62,
:17:48. > :17:51.will he was born in 1896 and number 76 where he was living when he
:17:52. > :18:02.enlisted as a private the ydar before war broke out. By 1905 he was
:18:03. > :18:07.serving in northern France. His interviewer recalls the tragedy of
:18:08. > :18:12.war mixed with occasional moments of farce like when they left they left
:18:13. > :18:19.the trenches to be inspected by the King himself. They were orddred to
:18:20. > :18:28.cheer him. We cheered and the King's horse reared, he fell off.
:18:29. > :18:32.You should have seen the confusion. The officers tried to quickly
:18:33. > :18:39.dismounted to go to the King's assistance. Although he started life
:18:40. > :18:48.as far from the sea as you can get the spent his later years hdre in
:18:49. > :18:52.Southampton. He remembered xoung Sherwood Foresters waiting for the
:18:53. > :18:59.attack in northern France in September 1915. It was a long
:19:00. > :19:06.miserable night. Somewhere crying, some being. Really we were `ll
:19:07. > :19:13.optimists and hoped to come through. After the first troops had
:19:14. > :19:23.gone over the top is Battalhon were told to advance. Wounded men tried
:19:24. > :19:32.to crawl into shell holes to get protection. They reached virtually
:19:33. > :19:41.empty German trenches. We h`d to assemble in groups. As we whthdrew
:19:42. > :19:48.over the ground that had bedn captured that they get was
:19:49. > :19:56.incredible. It was just likd a flock of sheep lying to sleep in ` field.
:19:57. > :20:03.The injured were in no man's land crying out for water and help as
:20:04. > :20:09.they passed. As I was going to take the court out of my water bottle to
:20:10. > :20:17.give him a drink I was immediately told from someone behind to get on.
:20:18. > :20:23.He was 86 when he died but one imagines he never forgot thd horrors
:20:24. > :20:27.he witnessed at the 19`year`old It haunted me. It was a dreadftl
:20:28. > :20:38.experience, there is no doubt about that. Those of us who survived are
:20:39. > :20:44.very lucky. The horrors of the great War are never far from this colossal
:20:45. > :20:50.monument. I was speaking to a Frenchman earlier who came to speak
:20:51. > :20:58.to us when he saw the BBC v`n. He himself was an agricultural worker
:20:59. > :21:05.until recently. He said there were soldiers who had been unabld to be
:21:06. > :21:12.identified by tags because they had corroded but there was a gl`ss vial
:21:13. > :21:18.of disinfectant in one pockdt which had English writing. Tomorrow
:21:19. > :21:23.another commemoration, 100 xears to the day that the 12th Lancers from
:21:24. > :21:32.Leicester conducted the verx last cavalry charge. Now back to the
:21:33. > :21:38.studio. An imposing place. Shocking really.
:21:39. > :21:41.Time for sport, Nat, and a bit of a shock last night in Leagud Cup.
:21:42. > :21:44.Yes, Leicester City are thrde`times winners of the League Cup,
:21:45. > :21:47.but they are out of this ye`r's competition at the first hurdle
:21:48. > :21:49.They lost 1`0 at home to Le`gue Two side Shrewsbury.
:21:50. > :21:52.But Forest and Derby are both through to the third round.
:21:53. > :21:54.The Rams are close too, to signing Liverpool winger
:21:55. > :22:03.Jeremy Nicholas has our goals round up.
:22:04. > :22:11.It should have been the tamhng of the shoes but the foxes werd on the
:22:12. > :22:17.run. The only goal was a frde kick from this man. The league two side
:22:18. > :22:22.were deserved winners and could have increased the lead. Nigel Pdarson
:22:23. > :22:29.insists he does take cup colpetition seriously and he was annoyed by the
:22:30. > :22:37.fashion of the exit. We need to strengthen our squad before the end
:22:38. > :22:43.the window. There was littld colour in this apart from the Charlton
:22:44. > :22:52.keeper. The crowd were basing themselves for a long night when he
:22:53. > :23:00.knew you emerged. Evander C`lero got the winning goal on his debtt. He
:23:01. > :23:06.has a knack of scoring goals and he has proven that he is going to be a
:23:07. > :23:11.good player. Steuart Peers was completing a few signings l`st night
:23:12. > :23:19.as his team travelled to Huddersfield. Henry Lansburx
:23:20. > :23:24.returned to the side with a man of the match performance. Here's one of
:23:25. > :23:29.the best opening goals of the season. Any attacker would be proud.
:23:30. > :23:38.With eight minutes left Lansbury sealed the win for Forest.
:23:39. > :23:46.Nottingham Forest are steepdd in history, we have a strong spuad
:23:47. > :23:52.sought a good opportunity. They will find out on Friday what thex are
:23:53. > :24:01.semifinal opponents will be. The semifinal draw will be made after
:24:02. > :24:08.the Kent/Gloucs quarterfinal. The Nottingham captain hit 146 not out,
:24:09. > :24:14.a man of the match performance. He hit balls to all corners of the
:24:15. > :24:19.ground as he hit his best ever score in one day cricket. This man stepped
:24:20. > :24:26.up with a half centuries as they built an impressive portal of 3 3`5.
:24:27. > :24:36.Derbyshire where always up `gainst it racing more than six and over.
:24:37. > :24:48.The wickets began to tumble and in the end Derbyshire Phil well short,
:24:49. > :24:55.bald out for 228. The guys `re in a great place so hopefully thhs will
:24:56. > :24:58.continue. There was one cle`r today, James Taylor, is 140 overs really
:24:59. > :25:04.saw us out of the game. At Cardiff today England's batting
:25:05. > :25:06.has collapsed against India Alex Hales was the only man
:25:07. > :25:09.who put up any resistance. The Nottinghamshire batsman hit
:25:10. > :25:10.a few boundaries and looked comfortable for ` while,
:25:11. > :25:27.before he was caught for 40. And surely that batting collapse
:25:28. > :25:30.means James Taylor deserves a call up. With a name like James Taylor he
:25:31. > :25:48.is bound to be really. Not a bad day today. It shotld be
:25:49. > :25:53.similar tomorrow but there could be a few showers. We had a settled
:25:54. > :25:58.start today with plenty of sunshine during the morning then the crowd
:25:59. > :26:02.started to feed in as the wdnt through this afternoon. Clotd
:26:03. > :26:06.continues to increase heading through this evening. Into the early
:26:07. > :26:11.hours of Thursday morning wd will have some light outbreaks of patchy
:26:12. > :26:18.rain starting to push through. The cloud and rain all helping to hold
:26:19. > :26:24.temperatures up. Not a cold night tonight. Tomorrow will start cloudy
:26:25. > :26:29.and damp but things quickly start to improve. Plenty sunshine through the
:26:30. > :26:34.morning and it will look decent into the afternoon when we start to see a
:26:35. > :26:42.few showers pushing in from the West. 20 or 21 the maximum
:26:43. > :26:46.temperature. Into Friday thdre is low`pressure sitting towards the
:26:47. > :26:53.North West of Scotland. This will give quite a DVD on Friday but a
:26:54. > :26:59.story of sunshine and showers. Into the weekend still a few showers
:27:00. > :27:03.around back high pressure whll build and as we head into Sunday lore in
:27:04. > :27:10.the way of sunshine, a more settle be. That set the theme to hdad into
:27:11. > :27:16.next week with settled weather and temperatures around where they
:27:17. > :27:25.should be for this time of xear That is all from us for now. Some
:27:26. > :27:53.pictures of the memorial in France now. Good night.
:27:54. > :27:56.You asked for it. You got it. SHRILL WHISTLE
:27:57. > :28:00.I promise not to take off all my clothes.
