Britain has identified the remains of 10 World War I British soldiers found in northern France five years ago, the Ministry of Defence said on Friday.
The men were volunteers with 2nd Battalion The York and Lancaster Regiment and were killed in battle with German troops near the castle of Flandres de Beaucamps-Ligny on October 18, 1914.
Their remains were found during construction work near the village of Beaucamps-Ligny in 2009, and have finally been identified after the authorities matched their DNA with surviving relatives.
