Stanley Anderson Cornell's original grave and wooden cross taken just after his burial in 1919/20.<P>
The grave behind Cornell was the end of the last WW1 row of casualties for Canadian soldiers, most have a February 1919 date whereas the row for Cornell is all January 1919.<P>
The trees in the background were removed after WW2 to allow space for WW2 casualties and the footpath you can see on the right was also removed at the same time for the same reason so Cornell is now three headstones in from the end of the row whereas after WW1 he was positioned on the end of the row.

BROOKWOOD MILITARY CEMETERY Surrey, United Kingdom
Brookwood is 30 miles from London (M3 to Bagshot and then A322). The main entrance to Brookwood Military Cemetery is on the A324 from the village of Pirbright. Brookwood Military Cemetery is owned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom, covering approximately 37 acres.
In 1917, an area of land in Brookwood Cemetery (originally The London Necropolis) was set aside for the burial of men and women of the forces of the Commonwealth and Americans, who had died, many of battle wounds, in the London district. This site was further extended to accommodate the Commonwealth casualties of the Second World War, and American, Belgian, Czech, Dutch, French and Polish plots containing the graves of Allied casualties. There are also German and Italian plots where prisoners of war lie buried.
