The soldier still had some pieces of equipment on him. A few selected links reporting below (Dutch or French) link link link link |

I'm very sure that the remains will receive a military burial. What a find after almost 200 years. Rest in Peace soldier. |

Very moving to read this, it looks like he may be British? or at least on the British side from what I read there? Thanks for posting, first I had heard of it. I'm sure his remains will be treated with appropriate respect and laid to rest in peace. Lee. |
