We have gone through the same question here in Australia (and England to some extent as well) They discovered pits which the germans had buried the bodies of Australian and British Dead after the battle of Fromels in WW1.

It has been decided to try and identify the remains found and reintern them (either at the same location where they were found or in nearby war cemetaries). IT was consided that the least they could do was to try and identify them and give some closure to families, but the bodies to remain in France.
