Yorkshire
Regiment War Graves, - Acomb (St. Stephen) Churchyard |
|
Acomb (St. Stephen) Churchyard contains 23 Commonwealth War Graves.
Of these 12 are for the First World War. The First World War graves are scattered
throughout this large churchyard and which, the further you get from the Church,
becomes more and more unkempt.
One soldier of the Yorkshire Regiment is buried here, and his grave is marked
by a family headstone. The headstone is damaged and lies on the ground.
We are very grateful to Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) for providing the photos from this churchyard.
