This was outstanding and I learned a great deal about different ways to search for burials. As far as military headstones, yes they have to be applied for. I have several relatives that served in the military, KIA or died later. \n I have found the military applications and they were initiated by a close relative or family member. This sometimes contains a great deal of information, ie medals and location of burial.
Excellent
Very informative and has helped me looking for the cemetery and plots of my U.S. relatives.
Enjoyed the presentation
Even more places to continue to do research. Thank you for a very interesting and great presentation.
