Historians are trying to find descendants of soldier Harry Dunn whose grave was recently discovered.

Historians have appealed for living relatives of a serviceman to come forward after the discovery of his grave at a Bristol cemetery.

Simon Bendry from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission said they have managed to gather a fair bit of information about Mr Dunn. "He served as a driver, so he was one of those responsible for driving the horses that moved the artillery guns and wagons around on the battlefields."Mr Dunn returned home to the Brislington area of Bristol at the start of 1919, but died of pneumonia only a month later.

Research to date has not revealed any further married names, from the sisters Harry had in the early 1920s.
