metalkors Kort efter afslutningen på krigen rejste
Commonwealth War Graves Commission
metalkors på flyveres grave som i Faaborg.
Senere blev de normalt erstattet af hvide
gravsten, de såkaldte headstones.

En dansk mindesten, som ved Tarm, blev
normalt suppleret med headstones, men
heldigvis respekterede CWGC i nogle tilfælde
ønsker fra forældre og fra danskere om alene
at have danske gravsten, som det ses i
Skarrild, Kalundborg og Estruplund.
 

Shortly after the end of World War II the
Commonwealth War Graves Commission
erected metal crosses on graves of airmen
like in Faaborg.
Later they were normally replaced by white
gravestones, often called headstones.

A Danish memorial stone like the one near Tarm
was normally complemented with white gravestones, but the CWGC fortunately in some cases respected the wishes of parents and of Danes solely to have Danish gravestones as
seen in Skarrild, Kalundborg og Estruplund.
