			It is understood that Captain Stewart-Rattray's widow was a published poet and penned the inscription on his headstone personally - papers to that effect having been found amongst the CWGC records. Unfortunately the quality of the headstone photograoh makes it difficult to read the inscription, although the recent revision to CWGC commemorative pages has allowed the inscription to be copied and included above.
