Retlaw will definitely put us straight ... :D 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.
