Yorkshire
Regiment War Graves, - Hinderwell Cemetery |
|
Hinderwell Cemetery contains 14 Commonwealth War Graves from both World Wars. 8 of these graves are for soldiers of the First World War, including three who served with the Yorkshire Regiment. 6 of the graves are for service personnel of the Second World War, including one female.
The plot where two of the Yorkshire Regiment graves are located (the third couldn't be found) is in very poor condition, - completely overgrown and many graves broken and hidden.
