Just a thought....

I notice that there are queries as to what to do with the  ID disc once the stone has been re erected...

I've had a couple of ideas thus far...

Is there a chance - via the stonemasons - the disc can be inset somehow into the headstone? This way he is not just an anonymous headstone but a remembered soldier with his service for all to see...

Or perhaps on a small plaque within St Peters itself with an "In Memoriam" inscription?
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

So There I was ...on the phone to scrimnet late on Saturday night telling him all about Robert  when he suggested he could arrange a Guard of Honour!   Off I go to Yorkshire for 2 days and when I get back I find a copy of the Echo on the mat... bless you Tisgrannie and  Scrimnet... as good as his word has nearly got it all arranged !!! Thank you so much Scrimnet for getting off the mark so QUICKLY ...I'd only had time to pm Annie with the news late on Saturday night and didn't dare post on here ...just in case it was too good to be true  Thanks so much  for putting your generous offer in writing so  quickly ... and for helping me with an Old Soldier too

Hi Scrimnet

This is a quote from Annie, reply 32 page 3

  But as long as we're fantazising ....  I think it would look lovely framed .... with a French inscription and hung next to the WW1 Roll of Honour at St Peters !!

Also what was said was that     "the tag was Michels to do with what he wants"
   so please let us still keep that in mind and let Michel decide on the outcome in his own time.

Didn't Graham Paisley post a message about the logistics of placing something inside the church?   Church formalities/procedures if my memory is right.

Indeed...But as a serving soldier, I have ideas of what I would like to happen to mine in the event of...

These were just suggestions...
