You have already supplied the burial details to us.

 

All new UK commemorations are added to the Book of Remembrance as a temporary measure whilst the burial details are checked and verified (which can take a couple of years depending on circumstances). The 'Book' allows the commemoration to be announced much earlier than would otherwise be the case.

 

In fact, five of the new names today have known burial sites so far and all are under investigation as of now.
