Better Late than Never

Napoleon's Retreat   (by Vasily Vereshchagin) 
It’s been a long time since the harsh wars of 1812, but news stories have been mentioning them lately.

Today’s reference came within a BBC article regarding the recent burial of a contingent from Napoleon’s Russian retreat.  These soldiers and their associates met a cold cruel fate indeed.

Their remains had been “discovered two years ago” and have finally been laid to a decent rest.
