To Identify the Dead.
Because of the terrible effects of modern artillery fire most European soldiers carry several means of identification if killed. Each Bulgarian soldier, for instance, carries no fewer than six identification plates, each of which has on it his name, number, and corps. These plates each man is directed to fix away in various parts of his clothing, so that, however badly he may be wounded, there will be at least* one plate by which he can be identified. Turkey, however, has taken little trouble to provide her soldiers with any means whereby identification may be established.
