The remains of World War I soldiers killed almost a hundred years ago have finally been discovered due to the work of a group of archaeologists.

In the region of Champagne-Ardenne, in northeast France on Friday afternoon, local volunteers unearthed a network of trenches and tunnels filled in by farmers after the war.

This is the complete skeleton of an unidentified German soldier which is housed in the region’s archaeological warehouse.

The soldier was aged between 20 and 25-years-old when he was killed, and the uniform and equipment found buried in his grave meant it was possible to identify him as German.

The region — which used to be a natural fortress — saw vast activity in the Great War of 1914–1918. Its pivotal position between the Champagne and Argonne fronts made it an important strategic point for both sides, with both German and French forces taking control over the complex puzzle of trenches during the war.

Over 16 million people lost their lives during World War I, and at the time it was described as the war to end all wars; it originated in Europe and lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history.
