Eight Scottish WWI soldiers, two identified, buried in France on 110th anniversary of Battle of Loos.
Eight Scottish soldiers, including two identified via DNA—Lieutenant James Grant Allan and Lance Corporal Gordon McPherson—were buried with full military honours in France on the 110th anniversary of their deaths during the First World War’s Battle of Loos.
Discovered during construction near Lens, their remains were laid to rest at the Loos British Cemetery extension, established to honour soldiers recently found or yet to be identified.
Though six of the eight men remain unnamed, the ceremony, marked by bagpipes and solemn tributes, provided closure for families and underscored ongoing efforts by the Ministry of Defence and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to honour the sacrifices of over half a million missing British servicemen.
