Nigel Marshall Posted 7 November , 2010 Author Share Posted 7 November , 2010 Hello Joe, No, you're right, not one single Royal Highlander. There are some other Scots connections, but not many. It's a work still in progress, the rain spoiled a few of the photos and I've still to find a couple of the graves. Some of the plot numbers provided by the CWGC site can't possibly be correct.

Chers, Nigel Nigel have you tried your local Births/Deaths Register office,they might have a book on Plots and who is in them? or a member of staff who used to look after the cemetery,the Register office may know. Good Luck Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
