Approx 2000 unidentified bodies of Commonwealth soldiers have been discovered in a mass grave at Fromelles. The CWGC are proposing to build a new cemetery and forensic scientists are in the long process of trying to identify the bodies. It is known that amongst others, the Oxfordshire and Bucks regiments were involved in the battle and casualties were simply listed as missing.
