British Reburial

Just looked on the last post website and saw on the calender for September a reburial on the 12 September, do any of the Pals know of any details??

Steve,

That's right, a reburial of a soldier found a few months ago nearby (actually opposite the Track X cemetery) by a team of the IAP (Instituut Archeologisch Patrimonium / Institute Archaeological Heritage). They were (and still are) exploring the area near the end of the A19 motorway, northeast of Ypres. (There are plans to extend the A19 motorway through Pilkem Ridge, north of Ypres, and they were asked to find out if it is worthwhile to protect the area and so not to extend the motorway.)
