Still some decent people around. "For decades the grave of a First World War military hero regarded as a “soldier’s soldier” who had won the Military Cross and Legion D’Honneur lay overgrown and neglected, his ornate headstone eventually left lying in pieces on the ground. But when an amateur military historian who planned to start fundraising to restore the headstone of Lieutenant Frederick Ramsey Walker of the 2nd battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in Dalry cemetery, Edinburgh, revisited the grave, he discovered it had been fully restored -– but no-one could tell him who was responsible. Now, with the 100th anniversary of Lt Walker’s death today, Edward Flint, a retired civil servant from Edinburgh, wants to uncover the identity of the benefactor who restored the headstone to its former glory. Lt Walker who was born in Tipperary in Ireland and joined the army as a boy soldier when he was 13 years old. He died suddenly at Dreghorn camp, in Colinton, Edinburgh, on 6 January, 1917, aged 34. When he died, The Evening Despatch of 10 January, 1917 reported that “a large number of people accompanied the cortege from camp to the cemetery, preceeded by pipe and brass bands of his battalion and followed by six hundred men from different battalions. There was a graveside service, and shots were fired.” http://www.scotsman.com/heritage/people-places/war-hero-s-grave-restored-by-mystery-benefactor-1-4333023
