As you can see I've merged your two requests into one since they were for brothers.
We have very few overseas graves here, however someone may have photographs of these headstones from a trip to the battlefields.
Are they realtives of yours?
Regards
Adam |

I may be wrong but I don't think there are any names on the memorial itself, just the People's Journal supplement that was issued at the time.
You may find the names on church or school memorials with a bit of hunting.
