January 2012 a good friend of mine was buried with full honours and a Tornado fly past. He died in service with well over 30 yrs served. I visit the grave on a regular basis and am shocked that it still does not have a gravestone after two and a half years. I am not in contact with his next of kin, however at the time of burial was under the impression he would be getting a military headstone. Do any pruners have experiences of time scales for this sort?
