An inscribed Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) memorial headstone commemorating Lieutenant Dillwyn Parrish Starr of the Cold Stream Guards who fell on September 15, 1916 near here during the Battle of the Somme. The grave is marked that this location is "thought to be buried in this cemetery" of LT Starr so we consider it a cenotaph.

LT Starr was born to a prominent Philadelphia family in 1882.  He graduated Harvard in 1908 where he played football.  When World War 1 began he immediately went to England where he served as an Ambulance driver with the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps in 1914.  He transferred to the British Armored Car Division in 1915  and served in Northern France and also seeing action in Gallipoli. In 1916 he became an Officer in the 2nd Battalion Coldstream Guards.  He was killed in action leading two platoons in the Somme as the Coldstream Guards attacked the enemy near Ginchy, a few miles east of Albert.

A cenotaph also remembers him in his home of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the Laurel Hill Cemetery.

His father, the Philadelphia doctor and University of Pennsylvania professor, Louis Starr, wrote a book about his son's life and WW1 experience based on his son's diary: "The War Story of Dillwyn Parrish Starr" ; it was published in 1917.
