The sets of two remains were found and were too intermingled, and several bones (skulls, and jaws, one thigh and one hip bone) could not be found. The remains were buried in one coffin, two graves spaces being allowed. Their means of identification were: Khaki, 2 pairs of boots, South African Scottish kilt, and piece of white serial cross found in grave --94.
