WW1 finds in melting snows

Melting glaciers in northern Italy reveal corpses of WW1 soldiers - Telegraph
Please read the whole article. It gives us a glimpse of what their travails were like. We don't often think of what life was like for these soldiers. Too far away both physically & time wise. But we should never forget. War is a horrible thing. We can't forget our soldiers from the past or the present. I am so glad thevillagers are treating these remains with respect.

I know WW1 finds don't seem like much of a treasure, but if you read the article you will understand it is a treasure of the heart.
Verde, thank you for the response. I'm glad you read it.

Very interesting story and for some relief as what happened to long lost relatives...

About a year ago there was a similar story, they were doing some excavation work and found a WWI trench that had been burred by an massive explosion. Bodies, equipment, rooms all intact. This was in France in a significantly dry area so the preservation was very good.

To add a touch of humanity.During WW1 in the southern most trenches near the border of Switzerland there was an armistice of a sort between the Germans and the Allie forces.Both sides knew that their area would not have a deciding factor in the outcome of the war.So what they did was,each and every ammo shipment they received was fired off harmlessly into the air instead of at eachother.
