Three years ago I was attending a family christening in Sandhurst and wandered outside. There was a dirty overgrown war grave of an 18 year old Rifleman in the Rifle brigade (my antecedent regiment), killed six weeks before the Armistice. I came back the next day and sorted it out. The rest is history.

I have to date cleaned and renovated 22 Victoria Cross graves in the South East and helped put a headstone on a George Cross recipient’s grave, unmarked since 1949. I have cleaned and renovated over 140 non-Commonwealth War Graves Commission military graves in the area including raising funds for a headstone for a forgotten WW1 soldier who did not qualify for a CWGC one.

I work with an amazing researcher, Jane Robinson, who uncovers the hero’s story and seeks out any living relatives who we then make every effort to contact. You can read more of Jane’s work below.

Below are some images of my latest renovations as reference and testament to my craft. If you or someone you know has any family stones or memorials that need refurbishing, please feel free to contact me. I am also happy to help and advise on anything cemetery based be it permission process and cleaning/refurbishing.

Thank you,

Steve (Rifleman) Military Grave Restorer
