WW1 soldier for Windsor, which was relaxed almost 108 years after death

A soldier from the First World War was buried with full military honor almost 108 years after his death.

Pte John Time, who came from Windsor and served in the Royal Berkshire Regiment, was killed in Belgium in August 1917.

His remains were found during the street work in Zonnebeke near Ypres in May 2018 with a Cap Badge and a Royal Berkshire Regiment shoulder title nearby.

A DNA match for a lively relative confirmed his identity and he was put back to rest on Thursday at the new Irish farm cemetery near Ypres.

The older brother L/CPL Alfred Tame by PTE TAME and CPL William George Tme, who served in the same regiment, were both killed during the Battle of Aubers Ridge on May 9, 1915.

Your bodies have never been found and you will be reminded of the Ploegstert monument, about 18 km (where your brother) is buried.

On Friday, on the 110th anniversary of her death, her family and a party from the 2nd battalion visited the guns the monument to remember the missing brothers.

Keith Brooks, the big nephew of PTE TAME, helped the Defense Ministry (JCCC) of the Ministry of Defense together to identify him by stating a DNA test.

“John and his brothers Alfred and William were recalled by the family of only photographs and vague memories of those who have long passed,” said Brooks.

“Now that he has found John's remains, he is more than just a distant photo. This has made him more real for future generations together with his story.

“All of this was achieved due to the excellent work that has to do with all research and investigations and missing people who served their country the funeral they deserve all.”

Rosie Barron, who works for the JCCC, said: “It was an honor to work with the rifles to give PTE the complete military funeral that he deserves and to have carried out research that led to his identification.

“It was also a privilege to meet Keith and to have shared this experience with him and his family.”
