2022 243-365 Commonwealth War Graves, Steyning
Martin very kindly helped me frame my exhibition prints today, with frames he made pretty much at cost price.
As I was leaving, I asked for an idea for my POTD. He suggested St Andrew and St Cuthman, the parish church of Steyning, near where he loves.
When I see that there are Commonwealth War Graves in a churchyard, I make a point of trying to find them as a mark of respect. The names are available on the CWGC website, so I knew I was looking for 9 headstones. Yet again, one was not a typical CWGC headstone, which posed a puzzle, but I knew which area of the churchyard it was in, and found the memorial for Charles Stanley Blaber. The trickier two were bottom left, Albert Edward Slaughter, whose memorial was sadly hidden in a nettle patch with overgrown shrubs hiding it, and bottom right, the one for Ronald John Sansom for which the website gave no specific location information.
R is for... Remembrance
