A bit off thread perhaps?

Would it be possible to contribute to the upkeep my brother's grave in the Silent Valley Military Cemetery in Aden, if that is possible? Just wondering how best to go about this?

I was sent some 'photos recently and the whole place looks very wind swept and dusty, just washing down the headstones so that the wording is visible would be an improvement. (I served in Aden too so I know it isn't hard for things to look neglected quite quickly).

It would be nice if the white marble cross that was a centre piece and was destroyed by militant locals a few years ago could be replaced, our spineless foreign office said to replace it would be, "too provocative" !

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
