I am begining to think that the government does not want to search.
Because they are afraid of what they may find.

The more people interested in this the better and Sharon has even offered her help. 
If you read back in the thread Sharon I think you will find that Lou is referring to the German division facing the Australians - the 27th Württemberg Division. He refers to German archive/war diaries in Stuttgart which were under the keeping of Prince Carl of Württemberg.

Okay, I have read this thread twice now and still can't quite understand where any of this is going. Is there a page missing or something?
Can someone explain these rather cryptic references here? I am not interested in the conspiracy theory that seems to lurk about some posts. My question is this. Am I correct in concluding that nothing of any material significance has occurred with respect to whether an excavation will take place?

That's pretty much my understanding Connor. Any excavation works are a long way away with plenty of research yet to be done.

Auimfo is correct.
The possibility of any mass grave excavation/s are a long way off.
They are out there, but exactly where?
As Tim says, research continues in a quiet and very thorough manner.

RE:
The Quest to Recover the Diggers of We Left Behind
A Hugh big THANKYOU Tim and all your team for finding those men from WW1. I am sure that these men are looking forward to a decent burial and are smiling down upon you. It just goes to prove that there are more out there. To borrow a saying (You don't have to know what you're looking for, you just have to look). Keep up the good work TEAM.
Thanks again Tim, keep on the toes of those Heads of Government.
Purhaps we can still look at the Battle of Bullecourt???????
