Search for Scots WWII soldier after identity bracelet is found in Israel

An identity bracelet belonging to a Scottish WWII soldier has been discovered in Israel sparking a desperate search to reunite the 80-year-old artefact with the man's family.

The perfectly intact bracelet belongs to Lieutenant James Clark, who was a Quartermaster and ex-Company Sergeant Major in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

Gan Erez, 51, and a group of metal detectorists were searching a field near the town of Hadera, 40km north of Tel Aviv and just 5km from where the regiment was known to have been based in WWII on a routine search on December 3. But Gan couldn't believe his eyes when they stumbled across the bracelet bearing the officer's details.
