It is interesting to see how history is presented, especially WWI; it was not a spontaneous combustion event. There were multiple warning signs that should have set off alarm bells - such as the Balkan Wars and resulting political upheaval.
All of those treaties, designed to prevent such an occurrence as WWI, actually helped make it happen.
These soldiers found at Flanders… i imagine the absolute agony their mothers, wives, and family went through, never knowing what happened or where they where buried.
I’m glad that people still care enough to research and find these men to give some closure to folks.
I absolutely agree with you. May there, at long last,be a little comfort for those who mourn and miss their dear ones, who never came home.
I always have to think about Walt Whitman‘s poem „When Lilac last in my Dooryard bloom‘d“. German-born American composer Paul Hindemith set it to music as a requiem for those we love…
Mt 5, 4: „Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted“
