Lost And Found - World

November 2009

Hundreds of dead lie in a mass grave at the centre of one of the most savage battlefields of WW1. Its a £3 million project to unearth combat graves and return the dignity denied the fallen in 1916.
They were dropped off and put into the pits. Now, thanks to amateur advocacy and commonwealth dollars, digging up and identifying the bodies through DNA analysis has begun, setting an expensive and complex precedent. But the biggest task remains, finding the many thousands of soldiers who lie forgotten and abandoned.

wars are decided by the few, fought by the plenty

Who cares about the British make more Aboriginies monuments!

And the plenty choose the happy few who will decide for them! That's what is democracy about! In fact the poorer you are the greater is the chance you'll be asked to die for something you don't have any kind of an interest in.

Fallen soldier from the former colonies died there too. Nobody should ignore their contribution.

I cant speak for Australia but speaking for Britian, It was disgusting how those brave men were sent over the trenches by their sancerre sipping cigar smoking commanders.  RIP all Australian and British soldiers.
