That is really bad, but not the only one. When I went to find the grave of Sgt Martin Carroll of the Royal Artillery, I literally tripped over it as it was covered in grass and weeds. It was a similar marker to Gunner Raistrick.
With the fact that both those lads died 40 years ago, it would be safe to assume that both sets of parents are either no longer alive or are too aged to tend the graves. That's where we come in.You cannot fight a war with one hand tied behind your back.Comment

Someone on the FB NI site lives two minutes away who might be able to maintain the grave for us as it's an hour and a half's drive for me. Once he's sorted then it's S/Sgt Brammah's headstone...Visit tree 49/189 @ the NMA and say hello.Comment
