The remains of 15 British soldiers who died in World War One have been reinterred in northern France, 100 years after they were killed in battle. Their remains were found during drainage work in 2009, close to the village of Beaucamps-Ligny near Lille. DNA samples were used to identify 11 of the soldiers from the 2nd Battalion of the York and Lancaster Regiment. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-29696541
Always good to hear of successful identifications and proper re-burials, especially in the centenary year of their deaths. RIP Lads.
Good to know that these men are now resting at peace. Inconceivable to imagine how many more such discoveries are yet to come. I was heartened to realise recently when attending the last post ceremony along with over 2000 others (on just one night) just how many people still want to pay their respects to the fallen. Brian
