War Graves, Newburgh
Posted in Fife, War Graves at 20:00 on 18 January 2020
I have posted about Newburgh before, but I hadn’t visited its cemetery until in August 2018 I found four graves each with a possible war link.
Regulating Petty Officer A S Anderson, RN, HMS St George, 14/5/1944, aged 43:-
Corporal J MacNaughton RAF, 8/9/1946, aged 28:-
Private J Blyth, The Black Watch, 3/1/1915:-
An unusual one this. It has a Commonwealth War Graves style headstone but is inscribed, “Alexander Ilytch Shenkman, born Moscow 29/11/1923, died Newburgh 21/2/2004.”:-
