Saving Private Ryan's grave: Sinkhole swallows Longford soldier's remains

Work is to begin next week on filling a sink hole that has appeared in a military cemetery in Wales, swallowing the grave of a soldier from Co Longford called Private Ryan.

The grave in the Pembroke Dock war cemetery, Wales’ only military graveyard, collapsed into a 20ft hole after a prolonged spell of heavy rain caused the limestone layer beneath Pte Ryan’s coffin to shift.
