Note on the site - Presumably, this is Lance Corporal Abbott's grave. It is in the correct part of the graveyard (Section F) and no other memorial with the name Abbott could be seen there. The first part of the inscription has been broken, but the extant section begins, "Also in loving memory of....." and continues to give the names of George and Sarah Abbott, who were born in 1870 and 1860 and would have been the right age to have a son born in 1893. The records held by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission show the Lance Corporal's parents as being Mr. and Mrs. G. Abbott, of 13 Sebright Road, Barnet.
