Hi

My Grandfather had one in 1925. I got the report from the local newspaper. All it said was:

Quote
The funeral was military, bearing tribute to a fine record of army service and over one hundred persons attended it. The pall bearers were six soldiers from the local unit. Over the grave the “Last Post” was sounded and three volleys fired.

I haven't been able to find anything else so far.
