Does anyone possibly know what the initials "L.H.S." might mean when they
appear on a gravestone? They were on two young men's graves whose father
was Catholic and born in Ireland.

I think the initials might be "I. H. S." which are the letters which are
usually put on communion hosts. They stand for something in Latin: In hoc
s------, can't remember the last word. On an old grave the letter I might
have eroded to look like an L.
