Soldier laid to rest 70 years on

A BRITISH soldier has finally been buried in the Netherlands, almost 70 years after he was killed in action in the Second World War, and nine years after his remains were found.

Private Lewis Curtis, from Liskeard, Cornwall, who served with 5th Battalion The Wiltshire Regiment, was laid to rest at the Arnhem-Oosterbeek War Cemetery in a funeral with full military honours yesterday.

His remains were found by builders clearing the way for a new housing estate.
