The last remains1 of scores of British and Australian World War I troops recovered from mass graves will be reburied in northern France later.

一战期间英国和澳大利亚部队许多士兵遗体被从乱葬岗中挖掘出来,并将被重新葬于发过北部。

Prince Charles and relatives of identified soldiers will attend a commemorative(纪念的) ceremony at the new Fromelles Military Cemetery2.

It comes 94 years after the soldiers were killed in the Battle of Fromelles.

Work to excavate3 and identify the 250 soldiers began two years ago, after the bodies were found.

The Commonwealth4 War Graves Commission was behind the work to exhume5(发掘) the bodies.

Of those recovered, 205 have now been identified as Australian, three served with the British army and 42 are still classified as unknown.

The Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, will also attend a reception for relatives.

About 1,700 British servicemen and more than 5,500 Australian soldiers lost their lives in the two-day battle.

In the aftermath of the battle, the dead Allied6 soldiers were buried by their German counterparts. The mass graves were only discovered in 2008.

As part of the identification process, experts took DNA7 samples from the bodies to try to find a family link with the help of the soldiers' relatives.

The Battle of Fromelles was a diversionary(转换注意力的,牵制的) tactic8(策略,战略) in the wider Battle of the Somme.
