Hi Elizabeth, many thanks for that. I see it was converted in 1993 into residential units. Poor fellow sent there in 1917 and was there when the German Navy bombarded Great Yarmouth in 1918 Really would have sent him more loopy.

I have found the headstone/grave of Tom A Bishop in Caister on Sea cemetery and as soon as I down load the photos I will send them on to Marilyn. There are well over a hundred graves ( lost count) ranging from around 1909 to WW2 Some have service numbers, some have ships names ( including HMS Victory and Pembroke I noticed) These graves are well cared for, lovely cut grass and flower beds. I assume the interred came from the Naval Hospital. The rest of the cemetery I am afraid for those who might have Yarmouth relatives is not so well cared for.Since I last looked a number of headstones have been removed- vandalism and the practice of planting trees did not help and many headstones have tilted or broken and were removed on safety grounds. Anyway , something for those looking for Great Yarmouth burials- don't forget the municipal cemetery at Caister Rosie On 23/07/2011 13:26, Watson Family wrote: > Hi Elizabeth, > many thanks for that.

I have a great uncle buried at Caister in a War Grave. I espect that he's one of those and that they are all War Graves cared for by the Commission.
