"Soldiers who came back from the dead"

Interesting article here. But I find it hard to believe that soldiers sometimes swapped I.D. discs before going over the top.

Can anyone here back up that part of the story?

Sounds simply pointless - negating the reason for having an ID tag of some kind in the first place...

The numbers involved, and the fact that it was possible to do, suggests to me that it did happen, for whatever reason. Perhaps Taff can shed some light on the subject or has contact with David Bilton?

 

Cheers,
