Monday 7 July 2008

We have today received an email from a representative from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Many years ago due to the graveyard being in a poor state and the graves not accessible the point of commemoration was changed to Manchester Southern Cemetery and the casualties names were added to the screen wall.

Due to the vast improvements this has been reversed and the CWGC records will now direct visitors to the actual graves at St Peters and the two missing headstones will be replaced.

"Please pass on our thanks to all the people who have been involved in the hard work of looking after the ground."
