Thank you for the freedom that I enjoy.

RIP

Scottie.


Steven, perhaps the cemetery or burials were concentrated after the War?

Rest in peace Harold.

Gone but not forgotten

Hi Stephen,
I think Scottie is probably right, at least one of the reasons was that at the end of the war there were so many small or isolated burials that something had to be done to make their maintenance a more viable proposition.

Thank you all for taking the time to remember.

Very kindest regards,
Stephen.
