Laura Berry has been assisting DNA-testing laboratory LGC with identifying the remains of men who fell during the First World War. The two-year LGC contract let on behalf of the Ministry of Defence Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC) will assist work undertaken by the JCCC's Commemorations team in their efforts to positively identify the remains of British Service personnel recovered from battlefields, or other sites, arising from conflicts in the 20th century. This project follows LGC's ground-breaking work in identifying the remains of over 120 World War One soldiers who fell at the Battle of Fromelles on 19th July 1916.
