This corner of the graveyard seems to be devoted to graves of Canadian airmen who fell in World War II. I presume the stones have recently been refurbished as they look quite new. The wreath in the foreground came from Canada and lies in front of the grave of Flying Officer G. R. Pringle, air observer Royal Canadian Air Force, 24th January 1943, age 29.
