Numerous soldiers killed in battle were buried in the "Fields of Flanders" simply because it was on that ground that their deaths occurred. As is generally the case in most wars that have ever occurred, the decomposition of corpses, along with the disease that can be transmitted when corpses are left above-ground, demands that the deceased find their final resting place on or near the place of their death.
