St. Peter’s Cemetery Est 1833 - Aberdeen Scotland

Covid 19 lockdown gives me more time to get out and about to visit locations that have been on my nearby sites to do list for a long time, hence two visits this week to capture this cemetery dating back to 1833, the site is a good few hours worth of a visit, with probably a few more on return visits over the coming weeks to try and absorb all within its four walls.

I always try to capture the stones with a story and respect the war graves that I archive as I have had many requests to do so on my journeys and post for perusal .

I have a separate album that archives all the War Graves I photo, here on Flickr.

St Peters Cemetery is one of 17 graveyards and cemetery's located in Aberdeen Scotland

St Peter's Cemetery is formed by three sections - The original graveyard at the rear of the site (The Spital), with two extensions opened in 1833 and 1884.

There are 62 War graves within the cemetery.

Christchurch Cemetery, Newport 12 August 2017

Lcpl AE Rawlings, Mounted Military Police, Military Police Corps.

The Mounted Military Police was formed in 1877, the Military Foot Police was formed in 1885, but although independent of each other, they effectively acted as a single organisation. They were merged in 1926 to form the Corps of Military Police (CMP). For their service in WW2 they were granted the title "Royal".

Christchurch Cemetery was opened in 1882. A large, sprawling cemetery on Christchurch Hill facing west, it is a little run down in places and there has been criticism of safety there due to muddy conditions in wet weather.
