Reasons why the image for this memorial was requested

Charles To follow up my last request I believe this is the grave of Corporal John Strachan who at the time of his death was married to Johan Harper of Wick. Corporal Strachan was a comrade of my late father. My research is aimed at understanding the event that led to the death of Corporal Strachan and consequences through subsequent years. However I was expecting a standard Commonwealth War Grave. I hope to visit this cemetery later this year and will provide you with any information I have at that time.

Flight Lieutenant Charles Gaines would have been my great uncle. My middle name comes from him. I never met him and want to learn more about him.
