IVAN LILLEY Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 I don't think its that easy and that brings us back to the other graves what about those,just because the occupants were not awarded the VC doesn't mean they don't warrant the same respect the VC award does set him above others and it should be recognised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVAN LILLEY Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 I agree - it would be disrespectful to tidy up and keep this chaps grave in good order and not do so for the others in the same cemetery. his remains need to be moved to a place where they will get the respect they should be shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Wouldn't it be possible for the governmeny to open a cemetery for soldiers awarded the country's highest decoration. What would it cost to disinter the bodies and bury them with honour in such a cemetery. It would cost much less than the cost to the men who earned the VC, many of who paid the ultimate cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
