A large number were shipped home (very little were flown anywhere--air transport hadn't maatured sufficiently yet). Those that remained were grouped together, often by units of divisional strenghth or greater, near the battlegrounds where they fell.

Some were sent back. Some rotted. Some were buried in Europe.
