Hi Amanda,
I have a late uncle who was in a grave without a headstone so I went up to the office at the top of the main drive and they checked for graves near my uncles with headstones so that I could find it more easily which I did and put some flowers there so do go to the office for help so that you can place your flowers as he did his best in the war and it is nice that you want to do that as a thankyou.

Thank you Kathy. I think it's such a shame he doesn't have a headstone. He was shot and injured twice during his time in the army then was discovered he had a heart condition so was discharged and later died from a bleed on the brain. He was only 35. I didn't know any of this until very recently. Poor guy.
