Hi Raymond, great story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I see there were photos placed on the graves. I take it the soldiers were fully identified then?

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade, most part of Soviet soldiers can not be identified ( due of that is possible by numbered orders and medals only) in that graveyard is approx 40 soldiers, just 4 identified.
The last time there was burrial at Oktober , 25 2008, at the same place

Many of the Soviet soldiers considered it bad luck to carry their details in their bakerlite containers , " Tempting fate " as it were so it is usually difficult to identify them.
