The other unusual headstone here is that of Lieutenant Lee Steere, of the Grenadier Guards. The private memorial stone stands rather incongruously at the end of a short row of standard headstones.
John Henry Gordon Lee Steere died on the 17th of November 1914. The CWGC records state he was with the 3rd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards, but his headstone states the 2nd Battalion. He was aged 19, and already married when he died.

1914-18: The 1st World War claimed the lives of 29 men from Ockley. John Lee-Steere, only son of the Squire of Ockley, was one of those killed in action. In 1923, Ockley Village Hall was built as a war memorial to him and all the Ockley fallen.
