Terry Denham Posted 4 April , 2004 Share Posted 4 April , 2004 John Not quite sure what you mean. CWGC do not routinely add anything to their inscriptions unless an error has been made - and then only after satisfactory proof has been given. Many headstones do not bear ages as the next-of-kin did not supply it on their Final Verification Form. CWGC does not normally just add an age. If by inscription, you mean the Personal Inscription at the bottom of a headstone, they will still add one occassionaly but only at the request of an immediate relative and only if one was not refused when first offered after the war. However, if they have agreed to amend a stone, it is a piece of string. It can take a few months or a few years depending on their work schedules for the location, the type of amendment and many other issues. If this is not the info you are seeking, please clarify what you mean and I will try to help further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
