WW1 & WW2 burials are in the middle cemetery. The huge gates at the entrance are usually locked but a side gate is nearly always open. War graves are scattered all around the cemetery and grave markers are of no use. There are 18 CWGC graves, however Private A I Fleming is not in C6 as indicated in the CWGC report for the cemetery. There are many more graves within the grounds that relate to fallen soldiers but are private headstones. _________________ If you have anything on Kilbirnie or Glengarnock then please pm me Kevin Last edited by KevinEndon on Sun Oct 14, 2007 10:40 am; edited 3 times in total Back to top KevinEndon Joined: 07 Oct 2007 Posts: 26 Location: Staffordshire Moorlands Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:14 am    Post subject: Trooper Matthew Baird _________________ If you have anything on Kilbirnie or Glengarnock then please pm me Kevin Last edited by KevinEndon on Fri Oct 12, 2007 8:52 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top KevinEndon Joined: 07 Oct 2007 Posts: 26 Location: Staffordshire Moorlands Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:15 am    Post subject: Pte S/18422 Hugh Archibald Crawford 12th Bn Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders Died 15/11/1918 and is buried at MIKRA BRITISH CEMETERY, KALAMARIA _________________ If you have anything on Kilbirnie or Glengarnock then please pm me Kevin Last edited by KevinEndon on Sat Oct 13, 2007 1:24 pm; edited 2 times in total Back to top KevinEndon Joined: 07 Oct 2007 Posts: 26 Location: Staffordshire Moorlands Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:17 am    Post subject: Cpl William Henderson R.A.F.
