C.S. Minia-- Part 3: Unidentified Titanic Bodies Recovered

The bodies were numbered as they were found. //// The second body recovered, #308, was buried in Fairview Cemetery in Halifax. A handkervhief was found on it with the letters "A.H.F.. No other aids of identification found. //// BODY #310 was buried at sea. No aid to indentification found. //// BODY #318 was buried at sea. He wore a brass watch and chain. There was no other aids to identification and he was thought to be a fireman on the Titanic. //// I'm not sure why one unidentified was taken back and the other two buried at sea. Perhaps there bodies were mangled beyond identification or partially eaten by some sea creature. ////
