| I visited this beautiful cemetery today whilst in the area and am intrigued as to the function of the small, square markers shown above - they each have a reference number on them. Please advise. | ||

| Without going back and looking (and asking maybe) I really don't know. If no one else responds, I'll try and stop there again when I'm next passing. | ||

| The small markers are soldiers and their dependants buried between the wars and before WW1. The Military hospital did the cemetery administration in those days. I can only assume that the family had to pay for the headstone and could not afford it. The markers and borders have been down for about ten years now, before which small lead markers was used but had sunk and the grass grown over them. Hope this helps Mark (Cemetery caretaker) |

| On this day and age who qualifies to be buried in the military cemetry? Also if eligible what is the procedure? | ||

| I was in the Nashville, TN military cemetery and noted that these small markers mark the area so that location may be easier. Then I also noted nbrs on each headstone and these numbers were in numerical order like TT-4, TT-5, indicating to me yet another reference nbr. I wanted to ask the admin bldg; but, they were closed at the time. | ||
