there are still folks working on identifying the John Doe's around Ypres, even last year, they found 3 body's , and off the top of my head they managed to identify 3 German artillery men , simply by an insignia on their uniform , after 90 years in the mud...traced it back on records and now they have a grave with a name on it, i think they got repatriated, not sure...
