Actually one side of my wife's family was devastated when my wife's great grandfather never came home. We found his name on walls of the VB memorial, but his body was never ever found/identified. My wife's great-grandmother never re-married but spoke of him always, as did her daughter (wife's grandmother).
We visited a few cemetries in the area, and in the one closest to his last known location in action, there are 6 unknown graves. My wife told me today one of those six is now the Unknown solder in Canberra, exumed in the 90s. His sacrifice is remembered and greatly appreciated, but I would never say glorified.
