JPE Posted 12 August , 2023 Share Posted 12 August , 2023 My involvement in the location and recovery of missing soldiers of WW1 has led me to having located the yet unrecovered remains of an Australian who died in August 1918 during the early stages of the One Hundred Day Battle, on the eastern edge of the forest Bois de la Carriere. Current protocols have not allowed for the remains to be recovered and only a very limited watch on the site can be carried out. However, in between 2019 and 2022 the landowner(?) cleared most the trees. Is anyone of the membership likely to pass this site and would it be possible to photograph the forest as it currently is? It is believed the remains were left in the trench as it exits the forest on the eastern side (as per attachment).
