ST. JOHN'S, GREAT MARSDEN |
© Susan Eldridge October 2001
Location: This memorial is found at the top of Nelson Cemetery, Walton Lane, Nelson.
OS ref: 103 SD873 383
According to information found on the Commonwealth War Graves site this memorial commemorates 30 casualties from both Wars buried in the churchyard of St John, Great Marsden where their graves could no longer be maintained.
I have visited St John's and have photos of some of the graves which I will add at a later date in a similar format as those in Nelson Cemetery.
The names are in alphabetical order on the left and right sides of the monument.
