Many soldiers in WW1 perished and disappeared without trace. But for the Luton family of Private Harry Wilkinson there was a chance to lay his remains to rest 85 years later.

Harry was buried with full military honours and in the presence of the Duke of Kent at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Prowse Point Military Cemetery in Belgium in 2001. An archaeologist had uncovered Harry's remains in 1999 in a field near a farmhouse he had helped to capture from the Germans on November 10, 1914.
