Cenotaph record

Hugh Elmar Sibbald

Lay a poppy
Photograph taken 24 December 2013. Grave of Hugh's parents Thomas and Louisa at Rutherford Street Cemetery, Woolston, Christchurch. Hugh is mentioned on the headstone and it appears his memorial plaque was probably attached but has long since fallen out or been stolen.
