23. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for War if the next-of-kin of soldiers buried in France and Flanders will be given the option of choosing a few words for the inscription on the monument marking their graves when new monuments are being set up?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Yes, Sir, the Imperial War Graves Commission have arranged for inscriptions chosen by the next-of-kin to be engraved on the headstones at a cost of about 3½d. a letter, whenever desired.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Will this be made public, as there are a lot of inquiries in the country?

Mr. CHURCHILL

It will be made public by an answer to a question in this House.
