It was revealed in the Chamber of Deputies by the Mayor of Verdun that recent work in the neighbourhood had resulted in the discovery of bodies at the rate of eleven a day. The Premier replied that he proposed to ask Parliament for a substantial sum to enable a systematic search of the battlefields and reverent burial of the dead. He regretted that the question had only arisen thirteen years after the war.
