YPRES, Belgium (AP) — A World War I soldier has finally found his resting place after he went missing at the height of the carnage in 1917 and his remains were found four years ago. The brutality during the 1914-1918 war was such that hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed in Belgium’s sector on the Western Front. But some were never accounted for. They often went missing in muddy fields that were churned over by relentless bombing and fighting. Pvt. Robert Kenneth Malcolm of the U.K. Royal Army Medical Corps was buried Wednesday at the Bedford House Cemetery in Ypres.
