Yorkshire Regiment War Graves, - Mexborough Cemetery (Doncaster)

Mexborough Cemetery contains 14 CWGC graves from the First World War and 26 from the Second World War.

However, there is one family burial of a soldier who served with the Yorkshire Regiment. This soldier died almost 2 years after discharge to Pension. He had been awarded a Silver War Badge, so that it is possible that his death was reelated to war service.
The case for a CWGC record is being investigated.
