Hi Morganspice,

Do you mean you visited the cemetery and can't find the lair/a stone or can't find Section 13?

In order to help you a wee bit more, you'll need to supply more details.

Anne  :)

Hi Morganspice, could you give us all and any info that you have, names, dates of passing etc. It just can make things a lot easier although if the grave is unmarked the names don't make much of a difference, WW

This Commonwealth War Gravestone is in Section 13, Lair No. 752.

The 'centre' of Section 13, Lair No. 759, the one you are looking for will be exactly 21 feet to the left or to the right of this one, so next time you visit, take a tape measure with you!

As 'pocketslint' has said, if it's an unmarked grave (i.e. no stone), then this is the only way to establish exactly where it is.

Each lair is 3 feet wide, so the centre of each is 3 feet apart and by using a tape measure, you'll be able to find it albeit all you'll see is a patch of grass.

You should be able to download a copy of the photo to help you find the area by comparing what's in the background.

Anne  :)
