I have sent an e-mail to the CWGC with ref to the condition of the war grave and to enquire who is responsible for the upkeep.

No they didn't. I will nip down in the morning to have a check on the stone. If not done I will get on to them again. Thanks for bringing this to my attention

Been down this morning, nothing has been done. The only problem I can see it was a private memorial. I will e-mail them to day, put my case forward and see what happens.

I think your right Alf, its a private headstone, perhaps there would be difficulties for the CWGC to obtain permission to replace the headstone with a military/Regimental one.

Shame really

Had a reply from the CWGC. Because it is a private memorial, they are not responsible for it's upkeep or replacement.
