Help finding original headstones for my Cockermouth Cemetery Thread

A Riddle from Warhem Communal Cemetery. Just remembered I did the whole cemetry a couple of years ago.

Do you happen to have headstone photographs of the following two casualties interred at Warhem Communal Cemetery, by any chance please?

(a) NICHOLSON, JOHN HENRY
Rank: Lance Corporal
Service No: 3595237
Date of Death: 01/06/1940
Age: 30
Regiment/Service: Border Regiment, 5th Bn.
Grave Reference: Row A. Grave 23.
Cemetery: WARHEM COMMUNAL CEMETERY, Nord (France).

(b) LOWE, ALBERT
Rank: Private
Service No: 3600358
Date of Death: 01/06/1940
Age: 21
Regiment/Service: Border Regiment, 5th Bn.
Grave Reference: Row B. Grave 9.
Cemetery: WARHEM COMMUNAL CEMETERY, Nord (France)

These two West Cumbrians served in 5th Border (T.A.) with Pte. Riddle and died the same day. They were lost in the withdrawal to Dunkirk.
.
Thanks if you can assist, ramacal.

 

Good luck reading it. The X's mark casualties suffered, either named or un-named:

 

They would have been defending the canal line at the end of May/begin of June along with many other units. Look for a thread in the 1940 section called 'walking in the footsteps of the BEF' for more details and pictures of the canal etc.

 

Your right it is hard to read but thanks very much.

Regards Michael.
