Hello David,
My name is Stewart and a former soldier myself. I picked up on a newspaper article by Pete Winners a former SAS soldier who made a national awareness of Robert's headstone and the direction. Although it's now two years on I and other army colleagues have picked up on this and to be frank were very toughed by the events. using new social media we have started a facebook campaign page that by estimates we will hit over a thousand followers within the first 24 hours of being up and running.
This has happened so fast and it's the last thing we want to do is upsetting anyone within your family. The campaign facebook page is called 'Campaign for full respect for Pte Robert Jones V.C https://www.facebook.com/groups/290891890982574/291124290959334/?notif_t=like
Late last night it was suggested to me that the family wish for the headstone to remain as it is and not turned in wards. Is it possible for us to chat?
Kind regards and respect
Stewart
