Mass grave of 80 British soldiers who died fighting French revolutionaries 220 years ago is uncovered in a Dutch castle moat
Mass grave uncovered in disused Dutch castle moat contains remains of 81 British soldiers, researchers say
Men aged between 15 and 30 died fighting French revolutionaries in the War of the First Coalition, 1792-1797
Archaeologists first thought the grave marked the site of a medieval battle due to blade marks on the remains
But they now say the marks were made by surgical saws, and the site was actually a British field hospital
