Hi Rob
Her name is Betty McKenzie and she works at Dumfries Family History Society. She kindly offered to find the grave and photograph it for me with the help of some plans of the cemetery I sent to her! Most kind of her as usually FH Societies don't do that sort of thing unless one is a member. But I pleaded your case Rob and she was impressed with the work you are doing. Such a sad grave though, he lost two young sons before he went to war.
