A pity that the article didn't talk about the facial reconstructions. The science behind that always interests me.

It's great to live in a nation where even a lowly sailor can be remembered and given his due, even after more than a century has passed. RIP and thanks for the service...

May these men be a tribute to all who fought and or died in that unfortunate affair in our history. Hundreds of thousands dead, Tens of millions effected, on all sides.

We, even to this day gripe about it to each other. (North and south)

Deep down inside we are happy to have one another.:)
