LINK:- Dedication of CWGC Engraved Tablet on Katherine's Carr`s grave ( 18/08/21)
This took me in excess of five years to persuade the CWGC, that Katherine's grave deserved official recognition
with an engraved headstone.
However, I am still waiting for Official CWGC signs, to be erected at the Cemetery entrance along Cuckoo Hill.
