Graves of the Rorkes Drift defenders -Sergeant Frederick Milne

Visted another couple of Graves this weekend ,Frederick Augustus Milne's in Sourthern Cemetary Manchester ,fairly easy to find once we realised there were 2 H plots at different sides of the cemetery .Sadly when we found his grave the cross was broken down but we found it and put it back in place it not the greatest job but its there for now.Milne ( or Millne) was with the Royal East Kents ( Buffs ) when assigned to help chard build the crossing at Rorkes Drift and volunteered to be a forlorn hope at the crossing and was mentioned in despatches by Chard.

Southern also has a few commonwelth wargraves with a lovely area for rrememberence
