TAN SUI A Dutch sailor. Date Of Death: 22 January 1945. Location of death: Stratton hospital, Swindon. * Please upload this photo, as its one of the headstone which is recently cleaned. Meant to be a lawn grave, but as this grave sits under an apple tree, no grass grows and it readily turns into a quagmire. The headstone is in a good condition. Clean, legible with no signs of damage or weathering. The environment is difficult to keep free of debris e.g twigs in all the mud. So much mud.
