Missing for over 100 years, the remains of two Scottish soldiers killed in 1915 during the Battle of Loos in northern France were uncovered by construction workers. The bodies lay missing for over a century until experts using archaeology and specialist research track down the living relatives of 23-year-old Lance Corporal Gordon McPherson and 20-year-old Lieutenant James Allan
