ARLINGTON, Va. — Army officials say that old headstones found lying in a stream on the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery had been placed there deliberately for erosion control.
The tombstones were found by reporters for The Washington Post earlier this month in the aftermath of an internal Army investigation that found chaotic management at the cemetery and the apparent mislabeling of more than 200 graves. Cemetery officials at first could not say why the tombstones were in the stream.
