Cooper James V.C.

His plaque which is situated on the Old Cemetery Lodge, cemetery side and not in view of the passing public, I found it by accident. Surely it should have had pride of place on the building
There is no public access to the cemetery via this entrance, it is blocked off by purpose built brick base and black painted iron fence.
