Soldiers’ Graves At Bromley
Sir,—ln his letter “1914.1918” rightly states that there are still about 200 wooden crosses and that the sextons are doing good work keeping the whole area tidy. However, when he states that no improvements have been effected, he is entirely wrong. Surely the most superficial inspection would have convinced him that a great many headstones are new and have been erected recently. Many of these headstones have a new type of copper plaque, and the cementing of them on to the concrete kerb is quite obviously recent work Moreover, many of the older headstones show that the engraving has been renovated expertly. It is extremely pleasing to know that someone has not forgotten the old diggers.”—Yours, etc., _ . , 6/4417. September 1, 1970.
