Leigh Cemetery and the CWGC

[Newfloridian]

I am looking for information about a soldier (Pte Edward Nutt) who died in 1919 and is buried in Leigh Cemetery. The CWGC has a commemoration for him confirms that is where he was buried. Findagrave also has an entry for him which is labelled "No Marker". The CWGC notes 31 people buried in that cemetery and there is a general photograph of a large plinth and sword. My question is: are there traditional CWGC headstones for all these fallen - including Edward?

Many thanks

Short answer is no.  Some families went for a private grave of their own choosing and in Edwards case, the initials PR and PP on the grave registration documents (under the heading CWGC Archive)  indicate Private memorial and Private Grave.

So his grave is there and perhaps not found by Findagrave.  (From experience of photographing war graves, private memorials are often, sadly, not well maintained and can be very difficult to find).

Britishwargraves.co.uk is worth contacting to ask if they have a photo of the grave.
