Your opinions please

This is very interesting, and I am of 2 minds on this subject.
I am a relic hunter, and my personal collection is dug up badges and buttons ect that date from the 1700s to WW2. I buy some and hunt for other bits myself.
Also I have several Parts from a WW2 Canadian Halifax Crash site which killed the entire Crew...I use many of these dug items including the Halifax bits when I put on the Rememberance Day display for the Camp X Historical Society here in Ontario Canada....with the Halifax parts I have photos of the Mens Graves, and Photos of 2 of them..it is a very moving display..and I get may positive comments on it...and yes these came from a site thats now forgotten where Brave Men Died.

I feel that by doing what this fellow has done, he is bringing it into the Public eye, and perhaps the Governorment will make this a Proper Grave Site.

By doing what he is doing, these Men will now be known by those that were not related to them...and it brings the Message of their Sacrifice home.

The big problem with this is the way the reporter acted and ambushed this fellow...never letting him fully explian...or at least washing over his explanations..poor show on his part.

Not sure that I would have removed the boot sole.

Just my thoughts
