I don't know if anyone else saw this but check: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/09/country-diary-horticultural-work-of-imperial-war-graves-commission-1919

 

Also a link to epitaphs which I think has been posted before:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/23/epitaphs-for-first-world-war-fallen-offer-glimpse-of-unprecedented-loss

Very interesting story on the epitaphs - I will try to play that piece of music later on! Never realised such a thing was allowed and had wrongly assumed only text was acceptable.

 

Also the horticultural link is very good too. Hoping to visit the CWGC in Arras soon and I'm sure there will be lots of amazing little details about the planting etc that goes on.

It can be so touching to visit these places and not consider the details that go on behind the scenes.
