Thank you, I imagine that there will be a regimental ceremony in due course, but I’m not sure what the protocol is for a headstone re-identification.

LarsA Posted 28 February Author Share Posted 28 February Yes, the MOD will plan one for the beginning of July. I expect some kind of military presence, RHQ is informed. MOD is trying to get in touch with NOK. ATB, Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
