Dead World War I German Soldiers Found-- Part 1

From the February 11, 2012 (U.K.) Telegraph "German soldiers preserved in World War I shelter discovered after nearly 100 years."

Twenty-one German soldiers have been found in a perfectly preserved shelter discovered 94 years after their deaths. They were part of a total of 34 buried at the site after it took a direct hit by an Allied shell in 1918.

Thirteen were recovered at that time, but the soil was too unsettled and dangerous to look for the others. French archaeologists stumbled across their remains while doing excavations along the lines of the former Western Front. This search was required by the French government in preparation for a road project.

Many of the skeletal remains were found in exactly the spot they were in when death exploded on them. Some were sitting upright on a bench and another was lying in bed.
