FOR FELLOWES, BUCKINGHAM PALACE
YOUR LETTER OF 19 MAY: COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION
WIR
1. THE CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION WHICH WAS SAID TO BE ENCLOSED WITH YOUR LETTER SOMEHOW FAILED TO ASSURE US. HOWEVER, SO FAR AS WE CAN TELL, THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMISSION AS SUCH RESIDENT IN HONG KONG. THE GRAVES THEMSELVES ARE MAINTAINED BY THE DIRECTOR OF URBAN SERVICES, WHO AS A SENIOR HONG KONG GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, WILL BE PRESENT AT ONE OF THE OFFICIAL FUNCTIONS DURING HER VISIT. SO TOO WILL THE COMMONWEALTH COMMISSIONERS, (WHO WERE THE ONLY OTHER PERSONS WE INVITED TO LUNCH AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE WHEN SIR ARTHUR HOCKADAY AND MR. GORDON CHEATER VISITED HONG KONG IN APRIL 1985)"," AND REPRESENTATIVES OF PRISONER-OF-WAR ASSOCIATIONS.
