WWI digger identified in French grave
http://www.skynews.com.au/news/local/adelaide/sa/2017/09/12/wwi-digger-i...
A South Australian World War I soldier buried in an unmarked grave for nearly 100 years has been identified.
Although corporal Edward Clarence Inglis had died almost a century ago it was important he was identified, Premier Jay Weatherill said on Tuesday.
'It's important a South Australian hero is properly honoured,' Mr Weatherill said.
Mr Inglis was killed in France in May 1918 and not identified until an investigation of the commonwealth war graves records.
Mr Weatherill said Mr Inglis was a baker from the state's mid north before he enlisted.
'His sacrifice will be remembered by the people of France and South Australia for evermore.'
The investigation determined Mr Inglis was the only corporal from his battalion to die in the region where he was found who was unaccounted for.
