" it means the glacier advanced or grew over the dead bodies sometime after WWI. "

No; it just means they were covered by snow, and became part of the glacier.


How glaciers grow. Snow falls each year and doesn't all melt, accumulates, is compressed by weight. Glacier grows. Yes, glacial ice sheets also travel a little both due to gravity and being pushed outward by glacial mass piling up behind.
