The Under Secretary of State for Air presents his compliments to Mrs. G. B. Stone and begs to forward herewith photgraphs of cross marking the grave of No. 174918 Pilot Officer George Bernard Stone.
Temporary crosses will be replaced in due course by permanent headstones to be erected by the Imperial War Graves Commission. Details of the inscription on the temporary cross will be carefully checked at that stage and any errors rectified before the permanent headstone is erected.
