Thanks Evelina

Contact britishwargraves.co.uk, if they have a picture of the headstone they will send it for free.  They list the cemetery on their site.

A search on this site https://www.twgpp.org/ does not produce a result although there is a contact tab.

Nice little cemetery - the optimum way to get a picture is always to take one yourself.
