The Graves registry would fallow the troops into battle. As the troops would proceed to their Jump-off-Points. Start-lines
or Assembly areas they would pass the Graves registry assembling Crosses, quite a reality check that your name could be
on one of them, as you know many chosen grave sites were temporary. They carried a portable can sealer machine, they
would remove all personal effects and insert them into the can and seal it.
