This video was sent to me by my Youtube friend Chris who lives over i Bempton Bridlington, east Yorkshire .
Like me Chris enjoys cemetery walk rounds. This is his second visit to Driffield cemetery. This time he is looking to fingd WW1 war graves. But.....'the best laid palns of mice and men'........lol
Chris did find numeroue other militray graves, some dating from in round the early 1950s.
Where were these airmen etc killed? If it is not mentioned on the headstone then it nigh impossible to tell. Some were airmen who died in aircraft crashes
