SiegeGunner Posted 17 November , 2008 Share Posted 17 November , 2008 The link seems to be to a page that updates, and it is now showing letters published in today's paper rather than those in yesterday's Sunday Telegraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfaulder Posted 17 November , 2008 Share Posted 17 November , 2008 The link seems to be to a page that updates, and it is now showing letters published in today's paper rather than those in yesterday's Sunday Telegraph. Hidden at the bottom of the page is a link "previous letters". From here you might get to: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jh...t1601.xml#head9 David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithfazzani Posted 17 November , 2008 Share Posted 17 November , 2008 But presumably the author still received a fee for his inaccurate and misleading article. I have long since given up believing much of what I read in newspapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangonel Posted 18 November , 2008 Share Posted 18 November , 2008 The letter in reply to the article is as follows: Buried with honours The article on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior refers to three other bodies being placed in the tomb. My grandfather, Brig Gen LJ Wyatt, sometimes talked about how the bodies were chosen. The other three bodies were, in fact, re-buried in the military cemetery at St Pol with full military honours, and my grandfather was present at all three funerals. A.J.

Neil Clark Posted 18 November , 2008 Share Posted 18 November , 2008 Given that the War Graves Commission was up and running it would seem surprising that this would be allowed. Personally I wouldn't be too suprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
