Two Essex Regiment soldiers, whose graves were wrongly marked in a Somme cemetery for more than a century, have been buried with full military honours.

Privates William Marmon, 21, and Harry Carter, 20, died when a 15-ton German underground mine exploded beneath their trench on 22 November 1915.

The men's bodies were only discovered underground three years ago at the site where they perished, despite graves and headstones being laid at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Albert Communal Cemetery Extension in France.
