§ Mr. StracheyYes, Sir. Wherever circumstances make it possible to comply with requests of this kind, reburial may be arranged at private expense. Whenever possible, next-of-kin have been given the opportunity throughout the war for the bodies of officers and airmen killed in this country to be sent home at public expense for private burial.
