Commonwealth War Graves Commission

"This local cemetery contains just nine war graves. The first grave is of Captain Walter Dawes who was killed on 24th August 1914, barely three weeks after the outbreak of WWI. The next row back has four graves from the 25th August 1914 and then nothing till the four graves at the back. The headstones reveal that one was Irish, one Scottish, one Welsh and one, Harold Walpole, from Geddington. They all died on the last day of the war, 11th November 1918. What was found so tragic is that in the space between those two rows are four years and the deaths of nearly one million British soldiers. "
