In this cemetery is the grave of James Thompson VC c.1829-1891. Serving in the 60th Rifles, the Victoria Cross reflected his conspicuous gallantry at the siege of Lucknow, India on July 9th 1857.

Private James Thompson, 60th Rifles, won his Victoria Cross at Delhi during the Indian Mutiny, not Lucknow. We need to get a photo of this plaque to see whether we have the wording right.
