angie999 is an unknown quantity at this point
The normal thing with any execution in a British prison would be for the person to be buried in a virtually unmarked grave within the prison. I belive there was some kind of marker so they knew where the grave was, but no headstone or similar.

There were, of course, a number of American military executions at Shepton Mallet prison in Somerset, which was taken over by American forces during the war.

And when I figure out how to do it, I will try to split this into two separate topics.
