	On 17 March 2010 the Australian and British governments announced the results of the first Fromelles Joint Identification Board. After analysing all of the available evidence – historical, anthropological, DNA and artefacts – 75 soldiers have been identified by name.

	I quite often watch Trench Detectives on Sky, the methodical research they do in order to try and identify the remains is fascinating. Let's hope they identify more of the tens of thousands of servicemen found in trenches and mass graves. Sue
