PARIS: The remains of Australian soldiers who fought in a 1916 World War I battle are among the bodies recently found in a mass grave in northern France, Australian military officials said Monday. Archeologists excavating a small field at Fromelles have uncovered "Rising Sun" badges worn by Australian soldiers, said Maj. Gen. Mike O'Brien, who is leading the excavation.
