This page details the presence of fallen service personnel who have not got a CWGC memorial headstone in Heworth St Mary churchyard, but are commemorated on a family gravestone. There are many family plots with details of a family member or relative who was killed either in battle or by enemy action. I can only record them as I find them, as there is only this way or searching the MIs. If you  know of any such person/s I have not entered on here, please contact me with the details and location of the grave.
