Humans war against each other all the time, and throughout history hundreds of millions of people have died on the battlefield.
This begs the question, what happens to the bodies?
Like on the beaches of Normandy, thousands of people died. But the beaches, to my knowledge, aren’t filled with dead bones and stuff.
So where did they go? Is there a secret service that collects bodies?

They were once left where they fell, and stripped for anything useful by scavengers who followed the wagon train. Apparently, the bodies of those who died in the Battle of Waterloo were left pied up where they fell. Some years later the piles of bones were collected and sold for BoneMeal. They were shipped to Hull in England, ground up to powder, then sold in Doncaster Market for fertiliser. At one time the British army buried their dead where they fell, there are many military graveyards around the Empire countries.
