Here is a link to the Sutton Veny Village web site, which is very moving and has a list of the names of all the Australians buried here (WWI). The school is next to the church and In addition to the yearly Anzac Service in St Johns Church on the Sunday closest to the 25th of April, the children from Sutton Veny Primary School conduct a yearly Commemorative Service in the Cemetery on Anzac Day.

Thank you Keith. Yes thankfully they are well cared for and it teaches the local school children important history. As I mentioned to George in my reply, I have never left this particular graveyard with dry eyes. Such a moving sight.

Thank you for your kind comment dear Gunter. It is a very moving place to visit. It always brings a tear to my eye when I read how young they are and on the other side of the world. I have seen flowers and messages from Australian relatives who come especially to see the cemetery.

All the best and good evening, Rosa
