* Each of the dead should be commemorated by name on the headstone or memorial
* Headstones and memorials should be permanent
* Headstones should be uniform
* There should be no distinction made on account of military or civil rank, race or creed
Which when it comes to remembering the war dead seems a fine set of terms to me.
The database provides details of the war dead from the First and Second World Wars. Using the search facilities to access the databse provides clear results presented in table form.
