    Hope they're successful.
    "The search is on for any family of a British soldier from World War 2 — one Lieutenant James Clark — after his identity tag was found during a dig in Israel. The tag was found in a field near the city of Hadera, some 28 miles north of Tel Aviv, by metal detectorist Gan Erez, 51, and his group of amateur archaeologists last December 21. Mr Erez is appealing to members of the public to help identify the soldier’s family so that he can return the identification tag to them.
    Alongside his name and rank, the identity tag was also engraved with Lieutenant James’ position — “Q.M.”, for quartermaster — his religion, and his regiment.
    The soldier was a former Company Sergeant Major in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, identified on the tag with the initials A.&.S.H."
