Rejected petition Protect the Graves of 48 World War One Soldiers in Southwark.

Southwark Council wants to sell ‘new’ burial plots over the graves of forty-eight First World War soldiers.
Church of England has said the Commonwealth War Graves Commission do not need to mark the poor soldiers’ graves - to avoid making them seem special.
