The jeemetery j is a rather new one since the olu one has been filled, parts of it | were sodded and parts of it weren’t. In about two months it should look pretty swell. It is ituated in a beautiful countryf ide. on top of a hill, overlooking a peaceful valley. They have a cross marking each grave with the soldier’s name and all other information that goes on them.
