Unknown soldiers from WW1 laid to rest with military honours | ITV News

The body of an unidentified British soldier who fought in the First World War has been laid to rest with full military honours. Two other unknown soldiers from Australia were also buried in the same ceremony on Tuesday. They are believed to have been killed in the Battle of Passchendaele 101 years ago in Yypres, Belgium, between July and November 1917. The ceremony took place at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) Tyne Cot Cemetery near where the bodies were discovered in 2016. Ministers, dignitaries and current service personnel attended the ceremony. Each year remains of around 40 British soldiers from the conflict are found on battlefields in Europe and the Ministry of Defence’s Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre based at the cemetery tries to identify them.
