This research explores the tension between preserving the privacy of fallen soldiers and the need for their families and State authorities to access digital legacies for memorialization and truth seeking. Through novel experimental approach of perception surveys of soldiers, relatives of fallen soldiers, and State memorial officials, the research aims to understand privacy preferences, access challenges, and the implications of digital legacies for memorial practices. This study contributes to the discourse on digital ethics in armed conflict, stressing the need for a balanced approach to handling soldiers’ digital legacies.
