Huntington (All Saints') Churchyard. There are 10 Commonwealth War Graves in the Churchyard, 5 relating to the First World War and 5 for the Second World War. Two of these graves are for men of the Yorkshire Regiment.

One Yorkshire Regiment soldier's headstone is in very poor condition. It is a family headstone which has been flattened, and at the time that the photo was taken was covered in grass and grass clippings.
