A new sign has been erected at Sandy Cemetery to indicate the location of a number of Commonwealth War Graves.

A spokesman for Sandy Town Council said the sign had been placed to honour the men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the First and Second World Wars, ensuring they will never be forgotten.

Sandy Cemetery contains six Commonwealth War Graves from the First World War and eight from the Second World War.

New signage has been installed at Sandy cemetery indicating the location of Commonwealth War Graves.
