That's actually fairly common. To avoid having to open new CWGC cemeteries the second time over, the British often placed their WW2 dead in with the World War I dead. It's similar to how the WW1 memorials simply had the numbers 1939-1945 added to the base of the stone. Many of the CWGC cemeteries built for WW1 accommodate WW2 dead, as well.
