Posté par durandclaude dans News le 22 janvier 2011
During the battles of Bullecourt more of 2.400 Australian soldiers K.I.A have no known grave. According to some letters of soldiers who were witnesses of the death of their mates like the one below, writed by l/cpl Peachey, Lambis Englezos and some other friends of the 15th Brigade are searching for mass graves in the
area. They found some places where soldiers were buried just after they were killed. These graves concern the second battle of Bullecourt and these places will be inspect soon.Perhaps the bodies were exhumed after the war or not!
Above the map with the position of the supposed temporary graves.
You can write a commentary to help in research.
