Does anyone know how to find out if someone is buried at this cemetery. I have e:mailed the local info centre at Bulford Camp but have not yet had a reply. Also would anyone know if there are civilian graves there or are they all just army personel?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

P.s. the grave I am looking for is not a war grave.

Thanks

Haven't found anything yet but can cofirm there are some civilian graves at the cemetery with the stone having an angel where the regimental badge would be.
I will do some mooching for you

Thanks ever so much Colin, Margaret is my mum so it would be great to find her final resting place, She died in the Military Hospital in South Tidworth so that is why I thought she might be buried there.

Thanks again

Is the cemetery open to the public and if so can you tell me exactly where it is? I have tried googling it but don't get anything definitive, its not even appearing on Google Earth!!

Many thanks

Yes as far as I know it is, as someone I know visited it and they aren't in the services. The cemtery is situated a little way west of andover and just north of the A303
