‘FINDING THE FALLEN’
‘Finding the Fallen’ is an illustrated presentation based on more than 30 archaeological projects. This work became the television series of the same name and then ‘The Trench Detectives’. In addition to exposing many of the myths related to the experience of the Great War we recovered roughly twenty seven sets of human remains. The lecture explains how four of these were identified and contact made with their families after 100 years of being ‘unknown’.
