Yorkshire
Regiment War Graves, - Hipswell (St. John) Churchyard |
|
Hipswell (St. John) Churchyard is located relatively close to Catterick
Garrison, and was used for burials from Catterick Military Hospital. It contains
64 First World War graves (including two men who served in the Yorkshire Regiment),
mainly in a plot marked by a Cross of Sacrifice. There are also two Second
World War burials, one of whom was a Green Howard, and the graves of two WW2
soldiers.
In addition, there are many MOD headstones marking the graves of servicemen
and women who died in the period after the Second World War.
We are very grateful to Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) for providing the photos from this churchyard.
