Yorkshire Regiment War Graves, - Coveney Wesleyan Methodist Chapelyard (Ely, Cambs)

Coveney Wesleyan Methodist Chapelyard, contains a single Commonwealth War Grave, albeit one that is marked by a family headstone that is in a state of disrepair. The soldier buried is one who served with the Yorkshire Regiment.

We are extremely grateful to Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) who has forwarded the photograph of the headstone in the chapelyard, together with a view of the chapel and the view towards Ely Cathedral from the chapel.
