    This is the grave for Louisa Farnes. It is not the typical war grave but looks like someone is still looking after it.

    Kathleen Gaunt killed in Great Yarmouth was my mums niece. They were in ATS together, attached is photo of them in a march past (Bradford town hall I think) plus a close up, Kathleen on the right with my mum behind. Other photo is Kathleens grave in Bingley cemetery. Hope this is of use. 12919482_761534714014166_1899112152_o (2).jpg 12962664_761567940677510_928168102_o.jpg 12948503_761248397376131_865446831_o.jpg

    Louisa Farnes was my mothers sister, and we still look after the grave which is waiting for a new headstone. My gran wanted to be buried with Louisa and that is why it is not a war grave.
    My mother was 9 years old when her sister was killed, and as we approach the 75th anniversary she still gets upset at her sisters death.
