[edit] War Grave
It would be useful to have a definitive definition of what is considered a war grave. I know I can never quite work out how the CWGC define them, there are many which they maintain but do not include as war graves. For example - Canadian Forestry Corps casualties are listed in the Debt of Honour Register but not Newfoundland Overseas Forestry Unit - why? Some civilian graves are listed but not all. They list 1914-1921 and 1939-1947 in the Register, what about other dates? Similarly some war graves in UK cemeteries have a CWGC headstone but some an ordinary one. Someone could perhaps put together a description and explanation. --jmb 21:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
