On Wed. 25th June, I went to locate an Unmarked communal grave of my sister in Oct. 1941. I knew the approximate area, but not the exact location.   We met a gardener working on site, who kindly rang the office. After a couple of minutes and questions, we found we were within feet of the spot where she was buried.

We called into an office at the next cemetery on our list to check on two more sites; and mentioned the communal grave in he first one we visited. A note was made of name and date; and informed that a marker would be placed there, for future reference.

An hour ago today 30th June, the office rang to inform me that my Sister's Marker has been placed in situ. THAT'S WHAT I CALL GREAT SERVICE AND EFFICIENCY.

The offices have details of all graves to be able to pinpoint their resting place. Give them a ring with name, and approx date. They are a mine of information with the speed and efficiency of SUPERMAN!
WELL DONE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
