The Commonwealth War Graves Commission must have spent a 
considerable amount of money to preserve graves all over he
 globe. However, in several places the uniform white headstones
seem to have fallen short. There are some in the Bandariabagh
 Cem.,  Lucknow. I was surprised to find that graves in very 
stable condition were dismantled, with some headstones being 
replaced with the  imported, white ones while others were not. 
So, where is the uniformity?
