Family of unknown WW1 soldier traced
By Andy Giddings & Kalpana BoodhooAfter a five-year search, the Ministry of Defence has identified an unknown soldier killed in World War One.The only immediate clues were his Worcestershire Regiment uniform, which also identified his rank.
His great nephew, John Cubberley from Dudley, said: "It was a relief for my grandfather because he was always upset that they couldn't find Bill."After unsuccessful DNA testing, the remains of 28-year-old Sjt Cubberley were initially reburied as an "unknown soldier" of the Worcestershire Regiment who died on 6 September 2017.
At first it was thought he was a Company Serjeant Major, but after finding none had died in that area, she decided to trace the families of three missing Serjeants .Ms Barron said she was "very pleased to have given Sjt Cubberley his name back".A service involving serving soldiers from The Mercian Regiment was held on Sunday to rededicate his grave, with his name included.It found he was killed during German shelling of the Battalion HQ on 6 September.
