HC Deb 26 July 1955 vol 544 c115W
95. Mr. Short

asked the Secretary of State for War what improvements have been made in the burial ground for Chelsea Pensioners at Brookwood Cemetery.

Mr. F. Maclean

A comprehensive plan for improvement is in train, but this was delayed by the weather last winter. So far the ground has been levelled and top soil has been added in readiness for the planting of heather in the autumn, which is the only suitable time of year. At the same time stones to mark the graves will be put into position. Trees have already been planted on the east and west sides of the burial ground and are now well established.
