Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The best thing to do is to look on the Commonwealth War Graves website!. There you'll be able to find the names of men that fell, their rank, their regiments and their ages!.

I'll start you off with these two - they are not famous, just 2 soldiers I picked at random, who died for their country - you don't get more important than that!
