The Soldier and the Stone part 5

Today is the anniversary of Robert Kelly Pollin's death. The young Belfast soldier was killed on the opening day of the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917.

His body was never found, but we have been tracing his story since his memorial stone was found in a river in the Mournes.

In the concluding part of this series our reporter Julie McCullough takes a closer look at where the stone came from and where it could end up.
