Post World War 1

2nd Lt G T Hotblack and Gunner Bernard Francis were both killed in Ireland in 1921 during the fighting for Irish Independence and are buried close to each other. As servicemen killed in the line of duty their deaths are registered with the CWGC, but since their deaths did not occur as a result of the fighting during WW1 they are not listed on the Memorial.
G T Hotblack is remembered on the kerbstone of a family grave. His grave is registered with the CWGC as a private grave and he has no CWGC headstone.
Bernard Francis has a CWGC gravestone. He is included on the CWGC addendum list, but with no further details.

The sixth grave is from WW2.
