The War Detectives



Missing for over 100 years - the human remains of two Scottish soldiers, killed in 1915 during the Battle of Loos in northern France, are uncovered by construction workers.\n\nThe bodies lie missing for over a century until the war detectives, using archaeology and specialist research, track down the living relatives of 23-year-old Lance Corporal Gordon McPherson and 20-year-old Lieutenant James Allan.\n\nFinally, the names of these two young soldiers will be engraved on headstones as they are laid to rest, alongside thousands of others, with full military honours.
