More in hope than in expectation - has anyone got a photo of a CWGC gravestone to 5 soldiers of the great war? I know there are at least two such stones but I cannot find a decent photo. I hope to use it for a talk next Tuesday.

I could check my large amount of photos if I knew where to start looking.

You could try emailing them for permission to use it.

Needs to be unknown, I am giving a talk on Wednesday about 5 men from Dalry killed on 25 sep 1915 and none of their bodies were ever found so I wanted it to be symbolic.

Plan B is just to go with a single unknown grave.
