Private George McIntosh of 8th Battalion The Bedfordshire Regiment was laid to rest in France on 20 October 2026 alongside an unidentified comrade of the same regiment, according to a Ministry of Defence news story published on 26 October 2026. The service at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Loos British Cemetery Extension was organised by the ministry's Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre. DNA testing confirmed McIntosh's identity nearly 110 years after he went missing in action.

Born in Ilford, Essex, in 1883 to Scottish parents, McIntosh worked as a gardener and florist before enlisting. He was killed on 19 April 1917, aged 34, during fighting south of Loos-en-Gohelle in the Battle of Arras period. He and the unknown soldier were among around 100 sets of British and Canadian remains recovered during construction of a hospital on the outskirts of Lens; the ministry said they are the final British casualties from that site to be laid to rest. Work continues to identify the second man.

Ten family members attended, including great nephew Jeff MacIntosh of North Carolina, whose DNA sample enabled the identification. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission said both graves will be cared for in perpetuity.
