DNA proves unearthed remains are those of WA Digger
The 91-year-old mystery over the final resting place of a missing World War I Digger was solved yesterday, with cutting-edge DNA technology identifying remains found in an unmarked Belgian grave as those of WA soldier George Storey.

A farmhand from Subiaco, 21-year-old Pte Storey was one of 5770 Australian soldiers killed in 1917 during the battle of Polygon Wood.
