This memorial is situated in Merridale (Wolverhampton) Cemetery, Sraffordshire and it is dedicated to three men who are buried in that cemetery. This cemetery has now gone back to nature, What a surprise it was when I visited the cemetery today 25th January 2015 to find that the local community hase cleared the cemetery of undergrowth. Unfortunately I could not find the heardstone or marker.
