In the north east of France researchers have found a massgrave that contains the bodys of around 400 british and australian soldiers that is thought to be the victims of one of the most crusial battles in the first world war, the battle in Fromelles in july 1916.

The battle would work as a diversion for the german soldiers that where figthing at Somme, about six miles south. But bad planing instead sent several thousands of Brithis and Australians to their death.

Researchers is no trying to determine the identity of the bodys so they could get a militar funeral in their homecountry.
