Private Charles David Patchett – Coldstream Guards

Private Charles David Patchett served in the Coldstream Guards.

He was wounded in 1916 and subsequently had a leg amputated. He went on to work on munitions at Marshalls.

He died from Tuberculosis in 1921.

Private Patchett’s grave didn’t have a headstone, so the Friends have raised funds so one will mark his grave.

The headstone installed for Charles Patchett.

About the Friends

The Friends of Gainsborough Cemeteries and Chapel was set-up to help restore the family headstones of servicemen and women who died during WWI and WWII.

Both cemeteries have graves recognised by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission

We also work to preserve both the General Cemetery, its Chapel, and the North Warren (Non-Conformist) Cemetery. With the kind permission of Gainsborough Town Council.

The General Cemetery is situated on Cox’s Hill in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. And the North Warren Cemetery is on Ropery Road in Gainsborough.
