Morcott (Rutland) Churchyard contains 2 Commonwealth War Graves from the First World War. Both burials have the same surname, raising the possibility that the two men are related.
One of the burials is for a soldier of the Yorkshire Regiment, and the other a Private 2nd Class of the Royal Air Force.
Details of the Yorkshire Regiment soldier, with a photo of his headstone, are below.
