Original caption

With the advent of America's traditional day of homage to its war dead, these views are released to show soldier graves abroad. Combat zone cemeteries will not have beautiful chapels like this one at Brookwood American Military Cemetery near London, England, but whenever possible the Graves Registration Service of the U. S. Army hopes to construct some kind of temporary combat zone chapel. Every dead soldier will be given full military honors and a funeral service in accordance with his religious faith. Here Capt. Merlin McGladrey, formerly of Richfield Methodist Church, Minneapolis, conducts a service in Brookwood Chapel. England, March 4, 1944.
