History - November 2006

My Grandfather was a Serjeant in the Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey). He was killed with two other soldiers and is buried in a churchyard in Eau Court Sur Somme (Commonwealth Graves Commission, great well maintained website). I want to find information about his regiment and what he was doing when he was killed. I have read many magazines and newspapers from that time but have not been able to identify his unit in any of them. My question is are there resources I can examine to find out more about him and his unit. Thanks in advance for your help as this is very important to me.

This sounds like a REALLY strange question, but for the life of me I can't remember. There was some assassination, murder, massacre, etc, in history that, when caught on camera (not video camera) had a horrified-looking girl in the background. Apparently it's fairly famous, but I can't find a picture of it, seeing as I don't know who was being murdered or where it happened. Does anyone have ANY idea what I'm talking about?
