Known Only to God No More!

Just found this info from CWGC about the rededication of a number of WWII graves now that the identities of those interred have been identified. They go from being unknown airmen to named individuals. I applaud all involved in these efforts as a continued mark of respect for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on our collective behalf.

Upcoming Rededication and Reburials

I likewise applaud the CWGC staff for their dedication and commitment. It is an example of how it should be done that the Americans should copy. Their JPAC was a disaster and its successor appears even worse.

The Australian authorities have questions to answer also but that will take a while to come out.

Sadly typical for the military/government treatment of veterans: An ounce of Image is worth a pound of Performance
