Description
With full military honours and proud family members looking on, an allied serviceman is laid to rest at a war cemetery in the eastern Netherlands 80 years after giving his life to liberate Europe from the Nazis. Private Henry Moon from Yorkshire in northern England died in the Allied WWII effort to open up an invasion route to Nazi Germany. Moon's remains were found during roadworks, and relatives gave DNA samples to identify him. "It just shows that we do not forget those who lost their lives," says Moon's great nephew David Snowdon in Oosterbeek. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
