Edward Thomas headstone at Agny

[Andrew]

This may be old news and a previous thread missed but I was at the grave of Edward Thomas yesterday and a new CWGC headstone has been erected. I don't remember the old one being particularly worn or damaged. The new headstone, and possibly the reason for the replacement, is the epitaph has gone. I was with a group and parted the flowers to show them the single word 'poet' and was shocked to see it no longer on the (new) headstone.

Anyone aware of the circumstances?

I don't know anything about this at all. It's fairly shocking - I can't see that the CWGC has any authority to change the wording on one of their headstones. Have you contacted the Edward Thomas Fellowship?
