thousands but the exact number in unknown
There is not one specific country that the graves are in. They are in multiple countries such as France and Belgium if they were buried at all. Some still lie where they fell on the battle field.
There were many battles in world war 1, fought at many locations
37 million
about 50,000 children were abandoned after world war 2
NO it wasnt that long it was about 10-15 years when world war 2 started AFTER world on 1 . :)
unmarked graves are often the results of a war or conflict where bodies would be found but would not of been identified. if they could not be identified then they would most often be given a unmarked grave.
It is difficult to tally the dead in WW2 because quite a few died in concentration camps, buried in unmarked graves, burned, used in human experiments, ect. As for the cost? How do you put a price on a human life?
There are many memorials to the fallen of World War I (and World War II). There are war graves kept in pristine condition, whose white grave stones are a testament to the waste of life of all wars.
Poppies often grew around the graves.
no some just was burried were they died at to remind others of there war but there names was placed in that spot but some did have graves others just rotted away

Commonwealth War Graves Commission was created in 1917.
Yes. Due to the segregation of the US Army, many black soldiers were assigned many less then desired tasks.
Becuse alot of people died at that war so they had to have big graves.
Poppies grew in Flander's Feilds after World War I between the graves.~pce out lolaa
One can find more information about commonwealth war graves on the 'Commonwealth War Graves Commission' website. One can search their database to find a particular name.
Yes. Most Civil War soldiers were burried in mass graves. These mass graves were simply hastily dug trenches, maybe 4-5 feet deep at the maximum. The dead were then cast into these trenches and covered with soil. Mass graves were typically left unmarked, or if they were marked, very little information was left, basically leaving the dead soldiers as 'anonymous'. Some soldiers had the priveledge of being given a proper burial, but they were in the minority. After a major battle resulting in thousands of deaths, the main objective was not to mark who exactly had died, but to simply dispose of the bodies and move on.
