I’ve just received some old family papers and one was from the Wolverhampton corporation cemetery merridale . My granda and uncle are both buried there. I was so hopeful when watching your video you may have come across them ! I’m in Melbourne australia
In the section from around 14:00 onwards you mention the Dutch soldiers. The Princess Irene Brigade actually made their home a short distance away in Wrottesley, after being ousted by the Nazis. Representatives come back every year for a special ceremony. It is good to see you spotted the Jewish section, as most people miss this. The gap in between those burials is because there was originally a prayer hall, but it had to be demolished due to subsidence.
Beautiful cemetery you can feel how old is it

I appreciate the additional information. Many thanks.
Beautiful cemetery, thank you Mr Boots. 🇬🇧

War is so cruel
I really enjoyed this walkabout Mr Boots, and can only imagine what the insides of those crypts looked like. Thank you.
