Many decomposing bodies have been moved after battles, often to allow burial in a common area. Photographs of this process from the civil war show civilians doing the work (which was very well paid) as well as soldiers. That could be what happened, the bodies being brought for burial with their comrades at the top of the gully. No doubt horse and saddlery remains were more numerous. If these were not found in the gully, collapse of the sides probably covered ALL remains. Nice history, I enjoyed it very much. RLF, SSGT, HHT 107th Cav.
