Soldiers' Story - The Search
ITV Meridian spent months searching for the family of twin brothers killed together in World War One. Frank and Herbert Bindoff were Privates in the Royal Sussex Regiment and feature in an ongoing exhibition in Northern France about soldiers who went missing in action.
The brothers were blown up by the same shell during the Battle of The Somme in 1916. Curators believed the Bindoff's own family had lost touch with the story and so ITV Meridian asked genealogist Paul McNeil to trace the family tree in order to contact relatives.
