This is pretty awesome, never to late to give closure.
Quote:
A First World War soldier, whose remains were discovered four years ago in a field outside Arleux-en-Gohelle, France, has been identified as a Scottish-born Calgary solider who died nearly 100 years ago.
Sgt. James Alexander Milne was just 34 when he died on April 28, 1917, during an operation against a German position known as Arleux Loop.
His body was found 95 years later by an archaeological team that was carrying out a mandatory survey of the land, which was a known WWI battlefield, before the construction of a new residential estate.
