Freshly dug could suggest another burial has gone in recently.
There are four official war graves in St Peters Churchyard: http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead.as...name&order=asc
[Edit to add: That War Graves Photographic Project collects post war MOD stones as well which have a different shaped top -That is possibly one of those.]

That type is the post 1947 military headstone . could be a wife or family member interred recently , there are several Military Grave markers of recent years from Deaths while in service at RAF Boulmer. there is moves afoot now for CWGC to look after these graves , The local authorities receive payment from THe MOD to care for these graves , but if a family member is interred in plot it becomes the responsibility of the family to care for the grave itself.I was active in the CMGC war Graves Photo Project . Im away this w/e , Cavalry Memorial Parade london . or would have popped there to check names on Bouquets ??
