Soldier identified?

A family from Coldstream is rekindling the memory of a young soldier who died in the First World War. Private James Mitchell was among thousands of men who were killed at the Battle of Fromelles. Now his great niece is hoping his remains can be identified using DNA so Private Mitchell can be buried with his own headstone.
