Interesting and sad story, the war still goes on! But why the surprise that the bodies and other things were in the exact position as when everything collapsed? Of course they were in the same position, how would they be moved? I hope this story doesnt lead to a rewriting of WW1 history.

165,000 MIA wow, it's bad enough reading the stories about the unexplored junk they find from WW II, just imagine what a GPR survey could show.

"Some 7.5million men lost their lives on the Western Front during World War One."

Who can even comprehend how many that really is?

Really sad, and for what? It spawned WW2.
