A BURNLEY soldier killed 92 years ago in a bloody First World War battle may have finally been found in Belgium.
Private Walter Robinson, 30, who lived in Stanley Street, died along with four other Lancashire Fusiliers three months after the start of the war in a field near Ploegsteert Wood, Ypres, Belgium.
Last week it was revealed the remains of two of those soldiers had been found at the scene of a battle by two amateur archaeologists.
One of the sets of remains was identified as Private Richard Lancaster, from Clayton-le-Moors.
Experts are now carrying out tests to see if the other set of remains was Pte Robinson, or one of the other two soldiers who has never been found. The remains of Pte Wilkinson were found in 2000.
