If you go to the CWGC.org site you can get a certificate and picture of cemetery.
If this is not your Reginald do you have more details to work from, marriage date spouse, children. Parents names?
Thank you Noggin, Yes have found all the details that you sent. Yes Henry was married to my great aunt Anna who died at 40 then he married Eliza Jarman Frost.
Not sure if Reginald had married at all and or had children. I hadn't realised that he had gone to war but this now clarifies everything. Much appreciated.
