Feel good story of the day!
Buried in the sand for over 100 years on that Australian beach! I read the accompanying article and it didn’t say what they wrote.
Two men are walking along the beach on day when they find a bottle buried in the sand. As they are brushing the sand off, a genie pops out and tells them he will give each of them one wish.
After thinking a moment the first man says, I wish I were the world’s smartest man.”
“Done, says the genie, and the man suddenly starts explaining Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to his friend.
The second man thinks for a moment, then says, “I want to be smarter than him!”
“Done,” says the genie, and turns him into a woman.
Until I watched his series, I never realized how many Canadian soldiers that were killed were virtually unknown. The main problem was that when they removed their bodies from where they had initially been buried, and reinterred in a military cemetery, their identifications were lost along the way. My uncle was extremely fortunate to have died in a field hospital, so his identify was never in doubt.
This series also uncovers the fact that there are still identified bodies buried on the Vimy Ridge battlefield, that although those identified remains were reported to have been transferred to specific Vimy Ridge cemeteries, on a visit to those cemeteries, Christie found no headstones for those men. When the series was made in 2017, he met with the Mayor of the town, where the bodies are believed to still remain, and has gotten permission to dig where he believes the remains are. I don't do Facebook, but there is an account there titled: "The Hunt For WW1’s Missing Dead | The Great War Tour With Norm Christie." Here's the link if anyone is interested:

All those beautiful boys, slaughtered for no good reason.
Typical modern journalism. They don’t even give us the text.
