CWGC grave WallaseyThis is Florence's CWGC grave in Rake Lane Cemetery Wallasey. Interestingly this is a "joint" grave - there is another CWGC right next to it - and registration documents specify that they should be together. I have no idea why. It is John Youd RM. He died two months before her. He had been discharged from the RM and fell from a train on his way home. the coroner gave an "open" verdict.

"double" foundation - Florence + J YoudThe registration specification states "These two stones are to be erected side by side in a large double foundation measuring 3'6 x 1'9 x 9' 10". As yet, i am not sure why this occurred. The graves are with two other CWGC headstones - (not joint) in a common vault. There is no other memorial to either of them in the churchyard.Contributed by:
