Because so many soldiers are believed to be in the graves, a new site would have to be established

Why? Thats where they died and where they were buried. Exhume them, identify them then give them their proper heros burials then declare the site a national monument...........

They will establish a new site nearby. The graves are located on a farm field - neither the owner nor the tenant will willingly give up arable land. The French govt will have to approve it, because the land is granted to the British War Graves Commission.

The Gardener. Rudyard Kipling's memorial to the British war dead and their families. His only son was killed at Loos.

"Because so many soldiers are believed to be in the graves, . . ."

Not all mass graves are the result of torture and firing squads, especially during war.
