Units were established for this purpose in France and Belgium shortly after rhe battle ul the Marne, in Egypt avd Salonika recently and an officer hss now been dispatched to Mesopotamia, Maintcuance in Perpetunity, "The French Government further offered to malptain these cemeteries. The British Government has, how- ever, in agreement with the French government, taken to provide for their maintenance in perpetuity and 'has pinted a national com- mittee to care for the graves of our officers and men after the war. With "the King's consent the Prince of Wales has accepted the presidency of "this committee, "Communication on the subject should be addressed to the director of graves registration, War Office, St. mes Square, London. Relatives are asked to bear in mind that some time may elapse before graves are properly recorded; that it is not pos- sible to arrange for the distribution of flowers for individuals; that cir cumstances: not infrequently arise which make it undesirable in the in- terests of the military situation to "disclose the position of a grave and that exhumation of bodies during the war is prohibited. graves that are photographers will * durable wooden crosses bearing a | metas inscription giving the name, { number, rank, regiment and date of | death, | Record of All Graves Impossible. ¥. "While these units have been syc- {cessful in registering and marking a large number of graves at the front land many in advanced positions { where they might otherwise have | been lost, it is not possible, and never will be possible, to obtain a record of all graves, not marked the graves of British of- | ficers and men buried within their lines, a number of graves will be ir- retrievably lost, In some cases even within our own lines, though graves have been marked the position is too exposed for a correct plan and survey to be made; in others every frace of a burial ground having been obliter- ated by the enemy's shell fire and there is no hope of reconstructing the cemetery so that individual graves may be recognized. Again, during heavy fighting burials are often car- ried out under circumstances which make it impossible to take, or at any ! rate to transmit, an accurate record i of the positions of graves, Burial Grounds in France, "Early In 1915 it be¢came necess- ary to make definite arrangements with regard to the provision of land in France and for the burial of Brit- ish officers and men. Up till then, and particularly during the subse- quent advance. to the Aisne, burials had often taken place in isolated graves whic were, wherever prac- ticable, cared for with reverence and respect by the French peasants and owners of land, and in a few cases, permament concessions of land were offered, . By this time, however, French civil' cemeteries were being more regularly used and it was also possible to arrange for special burial grounds. The director of graves reg- istration and enquiries approached the French/Government, through the French military autherities on the matter. The French Government immediately expressed the desire to provide land for permament resting places for the British officers and smen at the cost of the French na- tion, and a law was passed which gave effect to this generous impulse, on December 29th, 1915. Since then, in co-operation with "the French army, the directorate has established authorized burial grounds immedi- ately behind the British front and near the field ambulances, the casu- alty clearing stations and the hospit- als further back. Soldiers are em- ployed, under the officers of the graves registration units, to look after these burial grounds.
