We need to see if there is a headstone on Peter Owen's grave in Phillip's Park and review the condition of any inscription.
Edit
No Headstone found.

Peter Owen's commemoration was approved by CWGC today. He now has an entry in UKBOR, pending acceptance of his burial at Philip's Park Cemetery, where a new headstone should be erected.
