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.

They really do Pam. The saddest thing in this graveyard was seeing how many, often under the age of 20, died in 1919 from the Spanish flu, including many young women who served in the medical corp.
