This grave contains the mortal remains of a number of members of the Harrison family. But the one that stands out is the war grave to a Private W.G. Harrison of the Devonshire Regiment. He died in France as the regiment pushed on and is recorded as the 11th November, 1918! Did he really lose his life in the few hours before the armistice or is the date a mere administrative quirk?
