Hi everyone,
If anyone is near the Flotta Parish Churchyard would it be possible for you to take a picture of a headstone for me.
It is of RMA/1508 Gunner JS Fergusson Royal Marine Artillery
He was aboard HMS Cyclops II when he died on 13 November 1915.
I am producing a book about the men of Melksham in Wiltshire who are remembered on the town memorial and Gunner Fergusson is one them. If this is possible I will of course give due reference for the picture and any additional information.
Many thanks in advance

| For reference, Flotta is an island in Scapa Flow south of Mainland Orkney, graced by a large oil storage depot. The church is located 2 miles from the ferry terminal, on the southern side of the island at grid reference ND 366931. It can be reached by ferry from Houton (near Orphir) on Mainland. |
