In a moving tribute to the sacrifices made during World War I, the remains of four soldiers from the Grimsby Chums will be jointly interred at a unique ceremony at Loos British Cemetery in France. Family members of the deceased soldiers are set to travel there to honour the valour of their forebears. The Grimsby Chums were an integral part of the wider Lincolnshire Regiment, a group made up of local men who volunteered to join forces. This ceremony aims to honour their memory and accentuate the deep-seated ties shared among the Lincolnshire communities who contributed significantly to the war effort, including those hailing from Lincoln.
