Genealogist Janet Roy helped find descendants of this group. DNA was used to positively identify four of the eight: Lieutenant Clifford Neelands and Privates Lachlan McKinnon, William Simms and Sgt. John Lindell .
Forgotten No More tells the stories of these men and follows their descendants to France. Guided by historian Andrew Iarocci, the descendants visit the battlefields where the men fought, the Canadian National Vimy Memorial where they are commemorated and the cemetery at Caix where they will be buried with full military honours in 2015.
