I would. In the past they used to take 'Death Masks' of the recently departed. I'd love to know what my ancestors looked like.

That's actually a tough call for me. If it was a relative of mine, yes I would, but others don't feel the same and their wishes should also be respected. As I said, tough call.

I see nothing wrong with attempting to identify and reinter the remains of the boys who died on that sub so long ago.
