Regiment War Graves, - Bulwell (Notts). St. Mary's Churchyard |
|
Bulwell (St. Mary) Churchyard, has been extended several times, and the numbers "1874" and "1891" indicate different extensions by their years. One War Grave, not exactly located, is indicated by a special memorial. There are 5 War Graves in the Churchyard, one of which is for a soldier of the Yorkshire Regiment attached to a Training Reserve Battalion.
We are extremely grateful to Richard Roberts (<richard@nosnailshere.co.uk>) who has forwarded the photograph of John Hames' grave in this cemetery. Details of John Hames, and a photograph of St. Mary's Churchyard are below this photo.
