I do hope this is a good outcome. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2339583/The-battle-identify-unknown-soldiers-WWI-How-finding-descendant-15-young-men-killed-France-1914-lead-military-funerals-99-years-on.html
Not an easy task. It would be nice to think it may work out. For some families a positive identification would give them an opportunity to at last pay a final tribute to "one of their own".

Hope this works out OK. It's been dragging on for years. Mel Pack over on GWF did a lot of research on the descendants of these 15 men (I got the Gloucestershire Echo to run a story, so I hope I helped in a small way - Frederick Thompson lived in Cheltenham). DNA identification can only be possible where there is a likely set of candidates, in this case it was a particular group of York and Lancs men.
