The odd thing about these burial photos is that there appears to be TWO coffins.  There looks to be two on the 'gun carriage' and two being carried on the last photo!

Wow !!! I could never have imagined when I started this thread that I would get to see so many photos. I didn't think I would get one reply. Thank you so much for posting them. Absolutely Blown away.  ;D

Sorry for the delay Gortonboy - it's been a beggar resizing the photos and getting them to upload on my pathetic Internet connection.

.              Presumably two deaths in one incident.

Any idea of the date of those photos?

No Scouseboy.  Major Wallace was killed by 'friendly fire'.  He apparently came out of a building, was challenged and when no response was heard, he was shot.  He's the only CWG burial in the cemetery.  I'm wondering if the coffins in the photos were loaded onto a train; railway sidings could be just out of shot on the last photo.  Can't see such 'ceremony' for ordinary ranks, so is it two officers who were killed in the same incident.
