Good Afternoon,
In support of current efforts in Vespucci, I’ve been contacted to help in providing for burial services throughout the Veracruz Graveyards. The dead should not be allowed to remain as they are, adrift, alone. They deserve the sanctity of rest, whatever side they might have fought on. This I learned in Dublin, and my crew learned in Leeds and New London. The failures of mankind should not prevent us from bringing the loved home, or at the very least burying the dead so that their hate might be forgotten. To this end, by request of Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing, I have moved the civilian ferry Eryri to begin operations in reclaiming the dead.
Those who died in service of Veracruz, who lack a place to be buried and remembered, I intend to scatter their ashes in low orbit above that world. May they return to the soil they once loved for, fought for, died for.
Where do you wish me to bring those who died in service of Liberty?

Mister Booth:
Greetings,
This has been an issue that has weighed on the minds of the Admiralty of the First Fleet for some time now, and from our talks with the Fifth and Forty-Sixth, they share similar concerns. While the Admiralty appreciates your concern with the recovery of the bodies of our sailors, as well as your endeavors to lay the bodies of those that lost their lives in Kansas and Vespucci to rest with the dignity that they deserve, we humbly ask you to leave any Libertonian ships as they are in space for the time being. The Arlington is currently in Bretonia recovering the last of our war dead from the campaign against the Gallic Royal Navy, and is currently unavailable to be sent to see to those that were lost in the campaign against the Insurgency.
We will handle the remains in Kansas and Vespucci as we are able to, which should be before the end of the year. If any remains are recovered by your ships, we will have a small graves registration team on the Barbados to set the groundwork for our mission there, and said remains can be handled by them until the Arlington is available. I appreciate the efforts on your part to seek us out though, and if we recover bodies of any that did not fly under our flag, we will see that their remains are laid to rest on Veracruz, as it seems the most appropriate place for them.
Humbly yours,
Jack Boehm
ADM, 1FLT
Liberty Navy

Fleet Admiral,
I’ve relayed your transmission to the Eryri and she has reported to agree with the stance that Liberty Navy personnel will not be recovered for the time being.
She does report that 35 personnel from LN-Active and 20 personnel from LN-Diligence were recovered 23.11.834. In addition, 44 personnel were recovered in the vicinity of those vessels and believed to be from such due to uniform, though exact identifications could not be made due to debris impacts. These have since been transferred to Liner Barbados.
When the Arlington arrives in Vespucci, she will be welcome. We request, however, that she make similar efforts to not disturb Commonwealth vessels. Any which are recovered, I request be transferred to the Eryri with all haste. The citizens of the Commonwealth died by a Libertonian’s hand. We feel it to be a grave disrespect that they would be buried by a Libertonian’s hand.
