Two British or Gurkhas soldiers found

Thanks Dave!There are many official associations searching for burials rather than for the odd rotten bayonet or rifle!If you go to any militaria show in Italy seldom if ever you'll find dug artefacts for they're in private collections or small museums!Italy's been a battleground for several Wars since the Roman Empire and this kind of digging is made with historical purposes rather than to fill up Ebay with items dug from graves!

Thanks Mav!I don't know how many of you speak or understand Italian but it's very interesting to see how these guys conduct researches!At a certain point one of the team members reads excerpts from the account of a a British soldier while another tell the Carabinieri where the Gurkas were,and that on the other side of the hillock there was an Infantry Regiment.
There's a deep sense of respect for fallen soldiers here in Italy,and I like the way these Assocations do their "job"!.Gonna post more interesting clips as I'll find them!
Cheers
Manu
