Six soldiers have finally been put to rest in a cemetery - more than 100 years after they were killed in the first months of World War One. The soldiers were given a burial with full military honours in an emotional ceremony which included the hymn Jerusalem in Flanders Fields, Belgium, this morning. Little has been discovered about the soldiers, as no relatives have been found, and their graves will be labelled as ‘Known Unto God’ - a description on headstones of all unknown soldiers, which was chosen by author Rudyard Kipling. Honoured: Soldiers carry the casket of a British World War I soldier during a reburial ceremony at Prowse Point Cemetery in Belgium .

Uniforms: While their names will remain unknown, four of the six soldiers regiments were identified thanks to their uniforms . Ceremony: Soldiers fold the flag on the casket of a British soldier, who was killed in October 1914 in Belgium . However, their uniforms gave a little hint at who the men had been in life: two served with The King’s Own Lancaster Regiment and two with The Lancashire Fusiliers - which both sent soldiers to attend this morning's service. The bodies of the six soldiers were discovered in a farmer's field in Comines-Warneton, near Le Touquet in Belgium, in 2008 and 2010. It is thought they had been given a field burial after they were killed in October 1914, near the city of Ypres. The area was one of the key battlegrounds at the start of the war, due to its position on Belgium's north coast, and would continue to be so throughout the four year conflict. The First Battle of Ypres, however, raged from October 19 to November 22, leaving 7,960 British soldiers dead, 29,562 wounded, and 17,873 missing, according to MilitaryHistory.com. The soldiers were laid to rest in Prowse Point Military Cemetery, which was used from November 1914 to April 1918, and has the graves of 225 Commonwealth soldiers from the First World War.

A year ago, 20 soldiers were buried after they were discovered as building work began to construct a prison where the Battle of Loos took place in September 1915. On that occasion, one of the soldiers was able to be indentified: Private William McAleer, from the 7th Battalion the Royal Scottish Fusiliers.
