War Graves, Markinch Cemetery

Markinch is the small town nearest to where we now live, though parts of Glenrothes are closer.

Its cemetery is on the eastern approaches to the town over the railway line from the station. It has a Commonwealth War Graves sign on its gates.

I found six graves.

Sergeant R Duff, Air Gunner, RAF, 31/10/1944, aged 23:-

Private J H Drummond, Seaforth Highlanders, 10/1/1918, aged 18:-

This one is unusual, given the date of death and the age of the deceased.
