Hi all, just a quick update for those who interested: TWGPP has confirmed the same order of gravestones in 2009 and 2011 as at present.
So I am now waiting for the result of the CWGC investigation.

Hello,
Just my two pennouths worth,
Looking at the certificate on the CWGC page for FO. OKE, the date is given as 19th December 1959. So I would assume that is when the first headst's were erected.
From the details supplied in the above posts it would seem that new headstones were erected before 2010 when the later photos were taken.
The change of headstones may well be that the original ones were made from stone available at the time which may have not been the stone that the CWGC normally used . That stone may well have deteriorated over time . Hence the CWGC staff would over time replace the headstone with probably the correct stone which may have been available at some later date before 2010.
