HC Deb 11 March 1919 vol 113 cc1075-6
36. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the requests made by a section of the public to be allowed to erect individual memorials, an assurance may be given that the Imperial War Graves Commission will adhere to its decision to preserve the ideas of equality of sacrifice and national unity as embodied in their proposals for uniform regimental headstones bearing the appropriate religious symbol and the regimental or national emblem?

Captain GUEST

My hon. Friend may rest assured that the Imperial War Graves Commission have no intention of abandoning the two principles of equality of sacrifice and national unity upon which all their proposals have been based, and which have inspired their work throughout.
