There will be an announcement later today about what will happen to the recently-discovered remains of hundreds of Australian and British soldiers killed at the Battle of Fromelles in France in 1916.
An excavation in May and June found the bodies in mass burial pits.
It is estimated the graves contain the remains of several hundred soldiers, including 170 Australians.
The Australian and British governments will this afternoon reveal whether the soldiers’ bodies will be left where they are or reburied in individual graves.
The announcement will be made in Melbourne this afternoon.
