In the centre of the City of Dunfermline, this churchyard surrounds the old Abbey Church

There is only one CWGC headstone.

This is not a military headstone but it caught my eye when I was walking through the chuchyard.

.

I found one other headstone with a miltary inscription but I didn't have time to check every headstone so there may be others.
