This next photo is only vaguely military related. It is the grave of the wife of John McEwan, who served in the Lanarkshire Yeomanry and spent several years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. He has written a book about his experiences, detail can be found here.
I should also add that John is a friend of my mother-in-law. He is still fairly well, although I believe he is shortly going into a nursing home as he is very frail. He still, however, regularly gives talks to groups of school children.
