answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2016 answer text <p>When remains thought to be of a British Serviceman are located, DNA samples may be taken if there is a realistic chance of a positive match to living descendants.</p><p>With over 300,000 British and Commonwealth personnel who died in World War One still having no known grave, the chances of one individual being linked to recovered remains alone are extremely remote.</p><p>Whilst extensive efforts are made to positively identify any recovered remains, these must first concentrate on forensic analysis of the remains, artefacts and clothing recovered, along with examination of documentary records such as Regimental War Diaries. Only once this work has identified a relatively small group cohort of likely names would DNA testing prove practical.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 18/04/2016 15:43:59 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
