Marles’ great-uncle killed in World War I found after 109 years

Lieutenant Andrew Anderson survived some of the major World War I battles at Gallipoli and on the Western Front, including at Pozieres, Mouquet Farm and Bullecourt, before he was killed during the Battle of Menin Road, near Ypres, in 1917.

This Remembrance Day , Anderson will be among 11 Australians killed in the Great War and commemorated for more than a century as unknown soldiers to at last be named and honoured.
