... Also photographs taken at the time of the burial of the 11 airmen in 1946 clearly show crosses on the “vacant” graves, although there are no markers today...
I've just read somewhere that the practice was to reserve plots with (presumably blank) crosses and remove them later if the plots weren't used.
