I know it’s a long shot, but it would be so cool if they could extract DNA and identify the family lines of the buried. So often there was no surviving record of those killed unless it was a general or other commanding officer. My own ancestor was at Hobkirk Hill the following year and the only reason I know this is because another man mentioned him in his pension application as having been granted a temporary promotion for the battle.
