I recall hearing of a "caring sharing" Effects Officer who arrived at widow's house with clipboard just after the funeral.

EO: "Just clearing up a few things Ma'am - have you got your late husband's 1250?"

Widow: "No, but I know where it is."

EO: "We must have it back you know.."

Widow: "Every morning before he went to work [he was not an aviator] he checked his 1250 was in the pocket of his shirt. I returned the favour when we buried him in uniform - so now YOU know exactly where it is too!"
