Name: LIVINGSTON
Initials: G

Unit Text: 19th Bn.
Age: 22
Date of Death: 22/11/1916

Grave/Memorial Reference: B. 555.
Cemetery: DALZIEL (AIRBLES) CEMETERY

It may seem unlikely but the grave pictured is the resting place of Lance Corporal Livingston, despite it not mentioning him by name. But this IS grave B.555.

It may be that this is a family-connected grave, but that they didn't get around to adding his name to the stone. I will double-check that this is the correct grave, and if it turns out to be correct I shall contact the CWGC to see about getting Lance Corporal Livingston properly commemorated.
