    Default Remains of 108 WWII Greek Soldiers Found in Albania

    The remains of 108 Greek soldiers killed during a WWII advance in Albania, as Greece repelled an attempted invasion by Italian forces, have so far been unearthed during an ongoing search at Dragot (Tepeleni).

    The Hellenic National Defence General Staff made the announcement on Thursday but said none of the remains have yet been identified.

    The General Staff said a database of DNA samples taken from relatives/descendants of the fallen has been created by the Department of Molecular Biology at the 401 General Military Hospital of Athens.

    Over 360 blood samples have already been sent in from all over the country, while a large number of people have contacted the General Staff to seek further information in connection with the ongoing search.

    The results of the individual DNA tests will be released to the next-of-kin, while figures and details will be announced at a regular basis.

    For further information, interested parties can contact the phone lines (210) 6573274 and (210) 6575020 during working hours.

    The search for the Greek soldiers’ remains began on Jan. 22, 2018 as part of an agreement between Greece and Albania.

    Very cool
    “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph. 6:12

    Definition of untrustworthy and loose character are those that don't believe in God.

    It turned out there were other people as well (if not mostly), children and old people.
