MAITLAND-KIRBY R G - [PM] - NO CHANGE SINCE 22/09/2021 REPORT - Cross on grave marker appears to be coming loose (while unlikely, if the cross falls then there is a chance that the lower stone slab with the casualty's details may also be impacted).

Photographer: Mike Chapman

MAITLAND-KIRBY R G - [PM] - Cross on grave marker appears to be coming loose (while unlikely, if the cross falls then there is a chance that the lower stone slab with the casualty's details may also be impacted) and along with the base is leaning forward. Name inscription fine but other text (including 'RCS' for Royal Corps of Signals is starting to lose definition. Same comment as Signalman Pearson for surrounding grass length.

Photographer: Mike Chapman

PEARSON G D - [CM] - NO CHANGE SINCE 22/09/2021 REPORT - [SOOP] Headstone stable but lean 2 degrees forward and 1 degree to the left. Minor chips front left and back right edges. Definition of regimental badge and inscription starting to be lost (including several letters in the casualty's name). Some green algae (most prominent on front edges) but not enough to justify cleaning .

Photographer: Mike Chapman

PEARSON G D - [CM] - [SOOP] Headstone stable but lean 2 degrees forward and 1 degree to the left. Minor chips front left and back right edges. Definition of regimental badge and inscription starting to be lost. Green algae reported from March visit has burnt off. Some dark staining remains. Headstone given light dry brush to remove bird residue). Light weeding done.

Photographer: Mike Chapman

PEARSON G D - [CM] - [SOOP] Headstone stable but slight 1 degree plus forward. Saddles visible front and rear. Minor chips front left and back right edges. Definition of regimental badge and inscription starting to be lost. Grass a bit long in that area of the churchyard but it has been noted previously that the church's volunteers mow one section at a time.

Photographer: Mike Chapman

SELBY-LOWNDES W - [PM] - NO CHANGE SINCE 22/09/2021 REPORT - [AC] Damage to the base of the cross which isn't firmly fixed (again, while unlikely, if the cross falls then there is a chance that the plaque with the casualty's details may be impacted). CWGC record shows primary regiment as Royal Armoured Corps with 15th/19th The King's Royal Hussars a unit. http://www.thepeerage.com/p64820.htm suggests he served in the 19th Lancers in WW1 and was in the 15th/19th The King's Royal Hussars, Royal Armoured Corps when he died in WW2. The plaque attached to the base of his grave marker shows "19th Hussars". Again assume that as this is a PM this is all acceptable but mentioning just in case.

Photographer: Mike Chapman

SELBY-LOWNDES W - [PM] - [AC] Major change since last report 19/08/2024. Then, the hedgerow surrounding the private family plot was causing access problems and was down to be severely cut back allowing maintenance work to continue within. This has now happened and (a) the cross is back in line with the grave and (b) the surrounding vegetation has been worked on. Minor weeding and a small amount of grass trimmed. Can be taken off the 'monitor list'.
