Hello Stuart,

During the ceremony of burying ashes, there was a Canadian military detachment behind us and some of these soldiers had gone to Afghanistan. One of them is come talk to me after the ceremony and he told that several of them wept during the burial of ashes because it reminded them of the loss of a comrade in Afghanistan. I confess it struck me much at this time.
