The man's daughter can be proud-her father looks to have met his fate Bravely like a Man. Were the 2 bodies simply Left where they fell? It's amazing that there was anything left to identify. Was the other soldier also able to be named?

Powerfull and sickening, if these were the circumstances; two soldiers executed for simply doing what was expected of them - and to face death with such dignity !!!

**Kevin Grootaers** · 10-01-2013, 03:45 PM

Why were they executed?

Very Unusual to see the paperwork filled in but as it was it can now give the daughter some closure on her father missing for so long.
