Just an aside, but every effort was made to bury the Fallen with other members of their regiments; this was comparatively easy when the bodies were recovered from the immediate area of a single action, but bodies moved from other, temporary burial locations were usually reinterred on a space-available basis. Smith and Peterson's remains would have been recovered at the same time with other such victims, hence their relative locations.

Thanks for explaining this, Geoff. It's good to know. It's crossed my mind a few times to wonder how they chose locations.
I know the soldiers of my Uncle's group had to be re-interred from where they were originally buried.
Again, thanks.
