The level of carnage in World War I led many to believe it was "the War to End All Wars." But for some people on the home front, there was no certainty—only the question of what had become of their loved ones who had gone off to fight.
For over a century, one family has lived with the mystery of what happened to their soldier who never returned, nor had his death confirmed. Finally, his descendants have received closure as his remains have been identified and brought home—and the forensic expert who played a crucial role in the discovery has told the story of how it all came together.
Forensic archaeologist Jay Silverstein appeared as a guest author for IFLScience to explain how the body of Private 1st Class Charles McAllister, who fought for the U.S. in the Franco-American counter-offensive at Aisne-Marne, was finally identified. |
