Exhunation revealed six bodies buried in one grave without coffins. SGT. WINTERS and SGT. ANSELL definitely identified by their discs. F/SGT RIVERS identified by "N" brevet and imprint of F/SGT chevrons on sleeve. As only two F/SGT in the crew the remining body found with F/SGT's brevet would be that of F/SGT HENNESSY.
