Gunner Thomas M Dickson RFA

On my way round to middleman's for a marvellous Sunday tea, I popped into North Merchiston Cemetery for a wander round. It's a fairly depressing place - very few of the graves are maintained and the majority of the headstones aren't even upright, but this one caught my eye. I like the ivy, carved into the stone and growing on the wall.
