Whilst I understand the principle of the stance, I do find that the personal inscription on a headstone is sometimes most moving; it's sad (to my mind) that NZ headstones lack that connection.
In the CWG cemetery near Monte Cassino there are many Canadian stones. One, the most poignant, said to the effect that the incumbent had died in an European war - like his father before him!! How that husband and mother must have suffered.
