Mere Cemetery and a challenge for Rosa

What can be found in the cemetery that is unusual, Rosa? The photo and the PiP gives you a clue, but I guess you may already know. Another PiP is available for Rosa and everyone else. Well here is the answer to the mystery. There is a War Graves Commission stone with two names on it in this cemetery. According to a local it is because J.E. Chalk, who loved horses, wanted to join the army at the beginning of WW2, and was deemed to be too old. He then emigrated to Canada, changed his name and joined the Royal Canadian Army Veterinary Corps. I have yet to verify this, but I don't think that there can be many War Graves with 2 names on them.
