Shockingly, the remains of ANZAC Victoria Cross hero Sergeant Samuel Pearse VC MM, killed in action in 1919, are currently stored in a plastic bag, in a plastic box, in a remote Russian morgue, awaiting DNA identification before authorities will consider a dignified burial with military honours.
Six years after the remains were discovered on the century old battlefield there has been no progress towards a resolution.
We need your help to lobby the federal government to ensure Samuel Pearse VC MM is identified and given the honourable burial he deserves:
