Dumfriesshire-born World War One soldier set to receive full military funeral

A Dumfriesshire-born soldier who fought and died in the Great War more than 100 years ago is to be given a full military funeral in France on Thursday.

Sergeant Richard Musgrave was a member of the 7th Infantry Battalion (British Columbia) Canadian Expeditionary Force.

The 32-year-old went missing and was presumed dead on August 15, 1917 – the first day of the Battle of Hill 70 near Lens in France, which occurred shortly after Vimy Ridge.
