| Fantastic ! after all this time .
I was watching a programme over the holidays where they were trying to identify the remains of the fallen from WW1 who are still being found .
I think it was called "Finding the Fallen" - very interesting but very sad too . |

| My suggestion is that you don't jump the gun just yet. Ken |

| Is there still some question over the identity because the gun seems to have been well and truly jumped ! |

| Hi Gary. It was more of confusion than jumping the gun. To keep it short. John Young was asked to help identify the tunic button found among the remains. He sent a Photo of a person by the name of Keane, but the intention was to show the cap-badge not the person. It was then assumed that Keane’s remains were found. This is the original link that caused the confusion; the remains are still under examination, and have not been identified yet. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| Hi all , thanks for clearing it up (again! ) - i see what i have done , i followed the link which Joe posted at the start of this thread and the date at the top of the Daily Mail is the current date , not the date of the original article so i thought the info was updated and confirmed . |
