Family makes first war grave visit

Feb 19 2010

The family of a fallen First World War soldier visited his grave for the first time, almost a century after his death.

Private Dennis Doyle, from Wishaw in North Lanarkshire, was shot in the head during combat in France in 1916 and died on his return to the UK.

He was buried in a local cemetery but a mix-up led to him being recorded as one of thousands of missing heroes from the Great War.
