The third of the crosses marks the grave of Lieutenant Colonel George Douglas Lister, The Queen’s Own (Royal West Kent Regiment). Lister had fought through the Second Boer War at the turn of the century, and was a captain when badly wounded and captured by the Germans at Mons in August 1914. He spent nearly four years in captivity before being repatriated in June 1918.
He later commanded 1st Battalion The Queen’s Own in India in 1920, but he contracted two severe illnesses whilst there, necessitating his return to England, and leading to his subsequent death at Netley in 1921.
