Initials-what Do They Mean?

[cresser]

Hi all,

Yesterday I downloaded a copy of a`Graves Registration Report Form`, from the CWGC. In one column there is typed; "All Crosses Erected or `G.R.U`d", what does the G.R.U`d mean??. Many thanks in advance. cresser.

This will tell you https://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/glossary.aspx
Bottom of the page it tells you "grave registration unit" - they recorded details of the graves I think

It means a cross has not yet been erected but the grave has been registered by the Grave Registration Unit.

Sorry Janice both at once,
