Category Archives: Headstones

There was a time when the state of today’s CWGC cemeteries was not quite so immaculate.

A sunny afternoon in Flanders’ fields.  Looks nice, doesn’t it?  All the pictures in this post, barring the final two, were taken in various different cemeteries in Belgian Flanders a fortnight ago (most will enlarge if you click them).

Time to continue our occasional series of posts featuring some of the personal inscriptions found on British headstones in cemeteries on the Western Front.

One final group of headstone inscriptions, for the moment, although I’ll show you some at a future date.

Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers. 

The second in our sometime series looking at the personal inscriptions inscribed on headstones in British military cemeteries, this post features forty four epitaphs, the majority on the theme of remembrance.
