  	In Memory of CHARLES THRALE Sapper 159009 106th Field Coy., Royal Engineers who died on Tuesday 28th May 1918. Age 31. Additional Information: Son of William Thrale, of 1a, Butlin Rd., Luton, Beds., and the late Sophia Thrale; husband of Edith May Thrale, of 74, Cravells Rd., Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Commemorative Information - Cemetery: SOISSONS MEMORIAL, Aisne, France Grave Reference/Panel Number: Location: The town of Soissons stands on the left bank of the River Aisne, approximately 100 kilometres north-east of Paris. The Soissons Memorial will be found in the public square. The memorial register is kept at the Mairie where it may be consulted. - Historical Information: The original British Expeditionary Force crossed the Aisne in August 1914 a few kilometres west of Soissons, and re-crossed it in September a few kilometres east. For the next three and a half years, this part of the front was held by French forces and the city remained within the range of German artillery. At the end of April 1918, five divisions of Commonwealth forces (IX Coprs) were posted to the French 6th Army in this sector to rest and refit following the German offensives on the Somme and Lys. Here, at the end of May, they found themselves facing the overwhelming German attack which, despite fierce opposition, pushed the Allies back across the Aisne to the Marne. Having suffered 15,000 fatal casualties, IX Corps was withdrawn from this front in early July but was replaced by XXII Corps, who took part in the Allied counterattack that had driven back the Germans by early August and recovered the lost ground. The Soissons Memorial commemorates almost 4,000 officers and men of the United Kingdom forces who died during the Battles of the Aisne and the Marne in 1918 and who have no known grave. The memorial was designed by G H Holt and V O Rees, with sculpture by Eric Kennington.

  Notes	Cissie Thrale: Previously, this genealogy included a woman named Cissie Thrale as the daughter of William Thrale and Sophia McCulloch. However, due to the absence of any supporting documentation, I have removed her from my records. It should be noted that there is documentary evidence of George Squires' marriage to Harriet Kate Sophia Thrale, which has been incorporated into this genealogy instead. In the past, I also listed a man named Jack Thrale as the son of William Thrale and Sophia McCulloch, with a spouse named Rose White. However, based on documented evidence, it appears that this individual may be our previously recorded John Thrale, who married Rosetta Wright instead. I have removed the apparent duplicate entry for John (previously listed as Jack) from this genealogy. The removal of these two individuals without supporting documentation is presented for future reference in case new evidence arises that confirms their existence.
