Disgust as 'morons' vandalise war graves at Tipton Cemetery
An award-winning volunteer who has carefully maintained war graves across the Black Country has spoken of his disgust after two were vandalised.
Charlie Smith, aged 77, discovered the graves at Tipton Cemetery tipped over when he began his regular inspection of the site at Horseley Road on Thursday.
He said the ground was still fresh around the graves and whoever had committed the vandalism had probably done it the night before.
Charlie cleans and maintains war graves at sites in Tipton, West Bromwich and Moxley, and covers five burial grounds in total as part of his work for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
