Arnold is an urban district and parish three miles north east
of the City of Nottingham. The cemetery is at Redhill, on the Nottingham-Mansfield
road.
Arnold Cemetery is also known as Redhill Cemetery.
Although the cemetery includes a number of War Graves from both
World Wars, no soldiers of the Yorkshire Regiment are thus interred.
However, there is a family headstone on which two Officers of the Yorkshire
Regiment are commemorated.
The above illustrated headstone for the Ball family is inscribed;-
"In Loving memory of / ALFRED HOLMES BALL / ENTERED INTO LIFE / NOVEMBER
12TH 1925 / AGED 69 YEARS
ALSO EMMA, HIS WIFE / JUNE 3RD 1948 / AGED 93 YEARS"
The two Officers of the Yorkshire Regiment commemorated on the Ball family grave are;-
