Mary Lindsay's Gravestone
Commonwealth War Graves.
There is a Commonwealth War Graves sign on the main gate of Kirkmahoe Parish Church.
In May 2014 these signs were affixed to relevant churches in Nithsdale. They signify that a member of the armed forces died in the U.K.
Families were given the choice of burial in a grave marked by a standard Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) gravestone or by being recorded on a family gravestone. Kirkmahoe has two CWGC graves.
