Lance Sergeant E. Smith's grave
Lance Sergeant E. Smith's grave is separate from the other war graves, which are all either Royal Air Force or Commonwealth Air Forces War Graves and is the only non air force grave. Unfortunately his grave tends to be forgotten on Remembrance Day as there is an RAF Station in the village and Naval Harrier pilots train here. So on the whole those attending are from the RAF

Dear Fiona,
Thank you so much for your prompt response. Quite a few questions answered. I will make it my duty to pay my respects to L/Sgt Smith and leave flowers on his grave the next time I visit my family’s gravestones.
