Last week, Fergus Bowes-Lyon, son of the 14 th Earl of Strathmore, elder brother to the Queen Mother and uncle to Queen Elizabeth II, was added to our Roll of Honour. Killed amongst the 20,000 men who fell at the Battle of Loos in 1915, his remains were not found until 2011; nearly a century after his death.
2011 - 2015. The Queen has spoken for the first time of her family's painful search for the missing body of her heroic uncle who was killed in the First World War. Remains of Captain Fergus Bowes-Lyon, the Queen Mother's brother, have never been recovered since he died at the Battle of Loos in northern France in 1915.
Fergus was buried near where he died on the Loos battlefield in a disused quarry near the village of Vermelles. Unfortunately, the site suffered extensive shell damage during later fighting and his grave was lost, so after the war his name was recorded on the Loos Memorial to the missing.
