ww1 home burials

[Certacito]

Not sure of the rules etc but just for information, my great uncle got a CWGC headstone and he drowned in 1919, circumstances unknown.  He was still in the forces at the time though.

In my various trips photographing graves it appears that some families did not want the official stone for whatever reason but preferred to commemorate on family stones.

hi Certacito , its not a headstone we are after for ,PTE 15236 DOUGLAS TERRY
its his name to be commemorated by the  MOD and the cwgc , to bring him in from the cold.
