Retlaw will definitely put us straight ... Sssh, don't wake him up ... you will probably be asleep when Retlaw is eating his bacon butties or three Weetabix and tutting at our ignorance .. LOL
Just watch it snakehead.
I don't eat bacon butties & 3 Weetabix is not enough.
The middle picture is a Commonwealth War Grave headstone, which means one of our WW1 heroes is actually buried there. Been round all the local grave yards, and photographed as many as I could find, 73 so far.
There are also several men in Accy Cem who in my opinion should have a WW1 marker, but they died of their wounds after 1922.
There were 3 WW1 markers in St Bartholomews Church yard, but they have been moved.
