Tyne Cot Headstone
Not exactly an Accrington photo but may be ?
We were at Tyne Cot last year and took this photo of a headstone. Wonder if any of these were from Accrington ?

18 men of the East Lancs Regiment died that day. It looks like one of those burials of men who were able to be identified, but not found for some time after they were killed, and not enough remained for a separate grave for each man. Retlaw. |

Re: Tyne Cot Headstone
The daughter has some photos of Tyne Cot from their school trip, and of her laying a wreath at the Menin Gate, I'll badger her to put them on. She was really moved by the trip, very worthwhile , certainly focused her mind a little .
