Sadly, the British Legion have never recognised this as a war grave and since 2014, I have laid a wreath/tribute on Armistice Day each November. I also regularly clean the stonework and make sure the memorial is well presented. This fulfills my promise to Cameron. Photo dated 11th Nov 2020

With Cameron no longer available, in early 2018 I contacted the CWGC and requested assistance in maintaining this Memorial.
The engraving on the side of the Memorial due to weathering, was now illegible.
I was informed it was a Private Memorial erected by Steven and Marion Carr in 1943, consequently the upkeep was not covered by the Commission.

I contacted them again during November 2019, requesting an inspection of the gravestone.
I also brought to their attention, Lt Cornard and Assington Cemeteries our adjoining parishes, have CWGC signs at both entrances to the Church.
The same signs were also erected at Gt Cornard Church.
Why was there no CWGC sign at Bures ?

In late August 2020, the CWGC replied to say the Regional Manager had visited the Cemetery and agreed they would erect a new Gallipoli style engraved Tablet together with a sign to the entrance of the cemetery.
The Tablet would be placed amongst`t the green chippings, which prevents disturbance to the existing stonework.

They would make sure it was visited every 2 years, as per their maintenance schedule.

Finally, the Gallipoli Headstone was erected on 9th June 2021

Now after 80 years since her burial, Katherine has finally been recognised for the role she
played in protecting our country during WW2.

Katherine's grave is located on the left side of the cemetery, as you enter by the gravel driveway.
