A more up to date photo of the memorial headstones of Wigan soldiers buried in nearby unmarked graves at Wigan Lower Ince cemetery. Now better looked after.

There is one of these that doesn't state the year the soldier died
I've just checked with the set of pics I took of the individual stones in 2009 - they all had dates of death on them.
The dates in the online cemetery records are sometimes different from those on the graves. Where they differ they are always a few days after the date given on the stones - perhaps the cemetery records sometimes give the date of burial as the date of death.

My mistake I've confused them with those at the far end of Ince in Makerfield Cemetery
