I think it's the grave of Reginald Gay JOHNS, son of Ethel Rose GAY and Richard Ernest JOHNS:

Marriages Sep 1908
GAY Ethel Rose: Truro    5c   259     
JOHNS Richard Ernest: Truro    5c   259

Births Mar 1909
Johns Reginald Gay: Truro    5c   107

Deaths Sep 1911
Johns Reginald G, 2: Truro    5c   148

I wondered if those were initials... kept squinting to try and think of a name to fit the gaps, lol. Sounds good.

Wow!

How did you piece all that together? Thats incredible!

[Lambendsor (aka IGS)]

I searched freebmd for deaths of Reginald JOHNS, aged 2 or so, from 1900 through 1920 and settled on the one registered in Truro. And the letters preceding the surname JOHNS were strangely spaced, so I figured they were probably the initials of two people. So I looked for marriages of JOHNS also registered in Truro 1895-1910 and just scrolled down looking for folks with names starting with R or E - and Richard Ernest popped out - and Ethel Rose cinched it.

I think the line below REGGIE is:

"dearly loved child of"

Ive just been having a look at Google Earth to see if I can find anything Tre**** near the cemetery I took the photo. Can see anything though.

I'm sure I've read somewhere when taking a pic of a headstone,do it slightly from the side-never square on.You will get the light catching the letters better that way.
