awm - E040371.jpg Taken just after the Armistice, this image shows some of the detritus of battle which together with the bodies of the dead, remained on the field. The men whose remains were discovered thus lie in VC Corner cemetery, interred in a Common Grave with their names inscribed on the rear wall. Their remains were not at the time identifiable and in most cases their ID discs had been removed immediately after the battle by gallant comrades who risked and sometimes gave their own lives in the process of trying to account for the dead.
