WWI Canadian soldiers buried in France, a century on

Loos-en-Gohelle (France) (AFP) - Laid to rest to the sound of bagpipes, four Canadian soldiers have finally been buried in France 101 years after they were killed in World War I.

Their remains were discovered between 2010 and 2016 during an operation to destroy old munitions and during construction work in Lens, northern France.

They were identified through DNA analysis and historical research by a Canadian defence ministry team last year.
