Currently listed on the Cenotaph as being named Dennis Sugden, is now believed to be Herbert Dennis Sugden.
Herbert was 19 when he died serving with the 7th Battalion Green Howards in Belgium on 12/09/1944. The son of Fred and Sarah from Bramley, he is buried in Geel Cemetery near Antwerp. In the early part of September 1944, Geel was the scene of some of the heaviest fighting encountered by Commonwealth troops since they had left Normandy. The 50th (Northumbrian) Division and the 15th Scottish Division were both involved here in the forcing of crossings of the Albert Canal and the Meuse-Escaut Canal, necessary for the advance into Holland. Some of the casualties they suffered were originally buried in a meadow near the centre of the commune, and some in the St. Dymphna civil cemetery; these graves were later moved into Geel War Cemetery. Herbert Dennis Sugden is also named on the new Bramley War Memorial.

According to our Police Officers who manage the traffic for us - the Pudsey Parade is the largest in the area apart from the main parade in Leeds City centre. The photo below gives some idea of our incredible turnout - this is half of the participating crowd from last year.

http://www.leeds.gov.uk/docs/Cems%20-%20War%20Memorials.pdf The Battle of Loos was a major offensive on the Western Front from September through to the end of October 1915. It nearly succeeded in breaking the stalemate of the trenches. However a lack of coordination meant that many of the gains made could not be held. Its eventual failure would lead to the Somme campaign of July 1916. We remember the men named on Pudsey Cenotaph who died in service 100 years ago.
