Grave Marker in 2017The Crewe Area Command Graves Registration Report (undated but likely mid 1920's) records James Preston's grave as "Ajoins boundary" "nothing to show on surface, number (125) cut on fence wall" Today number 125 is not visible due to a tree root mound but (as shown on the left of this photo) 137 is visible on the wall as is 111 to the left of the tree root mound (not shown)Contributed by:
