    1. Just a guess - Could this be a "memorial" (only) stone for situations where no remains are buried?

      Probably wrong.

      Ed, might be but I don't know. Based on the fact that I know of one HE-111 crew shot down over the south of England where 1 of the bodies was never recovered. No headstone was erected for this flier and he is listed on the German War graves site as having a 'sailors grave'.

      I would have thought if all the other crew are buried there then he would be also but this is not the case.

      Unless in somecases where the family requested a headstone be erected? Therefore the 'I.M.' ???

      Your example is intriguing... the hinge/pin/catch are like those from another example yet the front is Meyer.

      Here's an 'unknown' maker on the left with the Meyer example. You can see the standard Meyer hinge/pin set-up and compare with yours. Very interesting!

      Could your example be earlier?
