Lance Doughty 1/4th DWR kia 13th August 1916 opposite Thiepval. Body certainly retrieved since relatives got his personal effects, presumably buried.

Appears on Thiepval memorial to the missing - I assume body buried, grave subsequently lost.

A lot of DWR ended up in Lonsdale Cemy. does the forum think it likely he ended up there too?

The body would have either been lost or been unidentifiable when found, any grave marker having been removed. So either he is still out there or he is in an Unknown grave. Could be either.
