Pte. George Edward Linton
British Army 2nd Btn. Yorks & Lancs Regiment
from:Sheffield
(d.18th Oct 1914)
I have only recently found out something that has got me very interested about my great great grandfather whose body was never found until we believe recently in France. We never knew that a member of our family had been asked sometime ago to provide a DNA sample because of the remains of 15 soldiers from the 2nd Batt Yorks & Lancs had been recovered by accident due to some builders doing some work in France in Beauchamp Ligny in 2006 that would verify that the remains are of George Edward Darrington /Linton. Up to now there has been no move to go further to identify these soldiers who lost there lives for there country although there remains are kept in storage in England. Our relative never passed the information on that she had been asked for DNA so now we will not know, although the time date and area are in our favour we will never know.
