Le cimetière militaire britannique de Carnoy a été érigé en août 1915 par le 2nd King's Own Scottish Borderers et le 2nd King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. Il contient huit cent cinquante-cinq tombes de combattants essentiellement morts au cours de la bataille de la Somme au poste de secours installé au nord du village.
This 9.7-acre cemetery is part of a 350-acre land patent granted to Joseph Henson in 1850. The year that he first set it aside for burials is not known as many of the earlier graves are marked only by red sandstone rocks without dates. The earliest dated marker is the 1870 gravestone of Josa Hood (1808-1870). Vandals, wildlife and livestock have taken their toll on this burial ground, but descendants and relatives of the citizens laid to rest here continue to make improvements and care for this site that remains a chronicle of the pioneers and families that settles and developed this corner of Leon County.

William Bell was Bannack, Montana’s first citizen to die of illness on November 12, 1862. The Dillon Examiner reported “ In a rude cabin of Alder Gulch, at this early time, a good man and true, our brother, William H. Bell, lay dying of mountain fever. When he felt that death was nigh he expressed to his brother Masons who attended him a desire to be buried with some, at least, of the funeral rites of our fraternity. There was no lodge of Masons; there was no monitor or book of Masonry in the camp, nor was it known how many of the order could be mustered, for they never as yet had met together. A request for all Masons in the gulch to meet at Miller’s cabin, on Yankee flat, was responded to by a hundred or more. All were delighted that the number of Masons was so great, and it was then and there resolved to form a lodge in which good men and true might assemble and meet on the square without the odious presence of the ruffian element…. Bell is buried in the old cemetery on the hill overlooking Bannack.
Carlisle Cemetery is an amazing place, and well worth a visit - especially in view of the excellent parking provision at the Crematorium off Dalston Rd. Although there wasn't much of interest bird-wise today (certainly nothing to match the Sparrowhawk I spotted here last time) I did get to see a Red Squirrel, as well as a few Greys. There's an Owl Conservation Area in the north-west corner, and there are (or at least were) some resident Tawnies - although these are notoriously difficult to spot when roosting in the day time. I'll certainly be having another go soon though...

Veterans of every war and conflict are honored by burial in a National Cemetery.
The Willamette National Cemetery is located in Portland, Oregon.
When I was in the Air Force stationed in Portland, Oregon I was on the team which fired the 21 Gun Salute at military funerals. When a person that was in the Air Force died we went out to "Willamette National Cemetery" and conducted our ceremony.
This was in 1964 & 65. What I remember about this cemetery was that it was very hilly. Also that a long trench was dug from the top of a hill to the bottom. As the deceased arrived they were placed in these long trench graves, filling it from top to bottom.
51 years later, in the Spring of 2016, my wife & I revisited this cemetery. I found that it indeed was very hilly.
I talked with a cemetery employee and he told me that now days graves are opened one at a time.
We reasoned that in 1964 & 65 a large number of deceased were arriving from the Vietnam war and the trench method was used for that reason.
