World War I's "Lost Army"

From January 6, 2008, Telegraph.co.uk.

Archaeologists believe they might have found the final resting site of 399 soldiers killed and missing in a battle in northern France in 1916. These men were killed in a frontal attack at Fromelles July 19-20, 1916. This is the biggest grave find since 1920 when efforts to locate bodies lost along the Western front ended.

They believe that a Corporal Adolf Hitler participated in the action along with his unit.

The attack came a s a way to divert German troops from the Somme and took place across open ground by 5,500 Australian and 1,500 British troops against heavily fortified German positions.

The bodies were recovered by the Germans and names and belongings passed on to the Red Cross to be returned to their families. Where they were buried was not known all these years.

But, archaeologists believe they have found it next to an area called Pheasant Wood.
