Kilrenny War Graves
Posted in War Graves at 19:37 on 15 November 2017
Kilrenny is a village in Fife, as near to Anstruther – and Cellardyke – as almost makes no difference, separated only by a (short stretch of) road.
I spotted a Commonwealth War Graves sign on its graveyard’s entrance and went to investigate. There were two graves.
Private G Corstorphine, The Black Watch, 10/8/1917, aged 25:-
Private J Doig, The Black Watch, 15/11/1915, aged 20:-
In addition three private gravestones mentioned war dead.
James Anstruther Moncrieff, killed in action, HMS Invincible, 31/5/1916, aged 22. Presumably in the Battle of Jutland:-
Alexander W Henderson, lost at sea by mine explosion, 14/8/1917, aged 29:-
Similar name but a different gravestone yet obviously the same incident. Andrew Henderson, killed at sea by an explosion, August 1917, aged 53:-
Lance Corporal James Murray, 48 Canadian Highlanders, Canadian Expeditionary Force, 22/4/1915, aged 21:-
