BATTLEFIELD MEMORIALS
LONDON, June 2. A small monument has been erected on the site of Field-Marshal Montgomery's caravan on Luneburg Heath, the scene of the capitulation of all German armed forces on the 21st Army Group's front. Military cemeteries where lie the bodies of the thousands of British soldiers who were killed in action or died of wounds in the battles from the beaches of Normandy to the River Elbe are being prepared in France, Belgium, and Holland. The War Office is also considering the possibility of establishing "Not Forgotten" fields in Germany. One of the largest cemeteries, to which priority is being given, is in the region of Bayeux, where there will be 6000 graves of those who fell in the Normandy beach-head.
