The Anzac Skull Controversy

Looks like he's back in the ground now: Australian soldier's skull taken from US museum and buried with remains in France

 

Thanks Peter. Meant to post that but got sidetracked.

 

Reminds me of the glass-encased display of a skull and crossed femurs, apparently built by a member of VF-84.

According to legend the bones were harvested from a VF-17 pilot who was KIA, but that appears to be a fictional person. Given the backstory it's odd that the U.S. Navy public relations machine would permit that kind of exhibit even if they do it with a wink.
