Last night I watched a programme I had recorded. It was about famous people tracing what their ancestors did in the First World War, it was part of the BBC 1914-1918 season. Anyway, the episode I saw last night had Dan (?) Snow researching his Great Grandfather, General Snow, and an ex-eastenders actress (I'm sorry - I'm not into celebrity anything so I don't know these peoples names!), whose Great Grandfather volunteered to go back to France and Belgium in 1919 as part of an Exhumation team to find bodies in the fields and bury them in the cemetaries. They would sometimes be able to find graves by crosses still being visible, or sometimes because there was lush grass growing on top of the grave (yes!), but they had a long metal rod they would drive into the ground, if it came out sticky and smelly they had found a body. They would then have to search the body for any clues as to who it was before reburying it in a military cemetary. Lovely job, but someone had to do it.
