Royal Anglian Regiment provide bearer party and firing party for WW1 soldiers

Four British soldiers who were killed in World War One have been reburied in France with military honours.

The remains of Arthur Cook, Robert Cullum, John Fraser and William London, all privates of 1/5 Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment, were found during work to construct a hospital near Lens.

The men, who were all from Grimsby and part of the same Lewis gun team, died on 5 May 1917 during the Battle of Arras.

Personnel from the Royal Anglian Regiment provided the bearer party and firing party for the service.
