Gunner Christopher Brown Royal Field Artillery who served with C Battery, 174th Brigade is buried separately towards the bottom of the cemetery. I am presuming this was because he was a local man. A CWGC headstone has been erected on the family grave. The CWGC Area Inspector records him as being buried in an isolated grave in the Civilian Cemetery, noting that he lies in a plot intended for three burials - presumably the other two places were for his parents.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OdSrCEsAPMw/YO61rSmi3TI/AAAAAAAAY1Y/09rAFP0IQjwmcCyIL3T5aK8MrRgRW93TQCNcBGAsYHQ/s1809/DSC_0001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1809" data-original-width="1672" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OdSrCEsAPMw/YO61rSmi3TI/AAAAAAAAY1Y/09rAFP0IQjwmcCyIL3T5aK8MrRgRW93TQCNcBGAsYHQ/w592-h640/DSC_0001.JPG" width="592" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U-rRMJTrwrY/YO61rTAxlEI/AAAAAAAAY1c/uHbisyhcjSU6YlZkzPv0SPD7dSgizZbmwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1752/DSC_0003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1752" data-original-width="1610" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U-rRMJTrwrY/YO61rTAxlEI/AAAAAAAAY1c/uHbisyhcjSU6YlZkzPv0SPD7dSgizZbmwCNcBGAsYHQ/w588-h640/DSC_0003.JPG" width="588" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was quite interested to see that the CWGC War Grave Register had been amended following the removal of a large number of German graves were exhumed and removed to Cannock Chase's German War Cemeteries after the Second World War.

text-align: center;">The day after war began, two soldiers lost their lives on a Lancashire road. Pte Thomas Albert Lawson was a Territorial Army soldier serving in The King's Own Royal Regiment, while Pte Thomas Lee Driver was a regular soldier with The Loyal Regiment. Both were killed when their motorcycle was in collision with a motor car driven by 2nd Lt Lee Wheeler. According to a witness, the two vehicles changed sides of the road three times before the collision. Lawson [from Carnforth] was killed instantly while Driver was thrown heavily to the ground.

Walter Bentley Sharples, 5th Engineer Officer, Merchant Navy is named on the family memorial in Haslingden Cemetery, Lancashire. His name is listed on the Tower Hill Memorial. The names of the mostly Chinese crew are recorded on the Hong Kong Memorial.</div>

MV Arinia was a British Motor Tanker of 8,024 tons built in 1936 by Lithgows, Port Glasgow for the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company. She was powered by a diesel, single screw giving 12 knots.</div>

On the 19th December 1940 she was mined and sunk off the Nore Light Vessel when on route from Aruba for the Isle of Grain. It seems that the engines were switched off while the boat was in the Thames Estuary waiting for dock gates to open. Sadly, as soon as the engines were turned off, the anti magnetic system was disabled and the metal hull attracted a mine. All the crew perished with the exception of a cabin boy</div>
