Having read of the public disgust at the attitude of the Imperial War Graves Commission over the salaries of its gardeners, I suggest the media get together and send an illuminated scroll of the two exhortations to each member involved in the petty money-pinching project.
They could hang the scroll over their beds, so every night they can be reminded of the sacrifice these lads made for all of us. The ones which best explain why they should not have their graves forgotten are the British Legion exhortation and the inscription on the Kohima Memorial in Burma.
