    Default Stoke on Tern cemetery, Shropshire

    I wouldn't normally have posted about such a small and unassuming place as this but as it's got 43 military graves in and isn't listed in the UK military cemteries list I've checked, I'll post it.
    There are 43 military graves, all related to the nearby RAF Ternhill airfield. Three or four are RFC World War I graves, the rest are World War II, some of which are Commonwealth flyers.

    I'm amazed its not listed, but maybe only 43 graves doesn't constitute listing? Who decides these things??

    Out of interest, it is listed with the CWGC as Stoke-upon-Tern (St Peter) Church Cemetery.
