It does look good.  This is not a criticism, why and when was it decided that we should omit the verse from Philip Larkin's MCMXIV?

Class. Have any attempts been made to let relatives of those named know about it or even relatives in general through the media or any other means? It would be a shame if some people who would personally appreciate this weren't aware of it.
