Then I got him to try in another place, and still we could find nothing.

I tried once again, and after he had dug a little while he came upon something white.

It was my son's left hand, with his signet ring upon it.

They had removed his identification disc, revolver and pocket-book, so the signet ring was the only thing which could have led to his identification.

It was really quite miraculous that we should have made the discovery.
