The helmets are pre-WW2, so 1930s seems more likely.
I thought that Stanley cemetery was first used in the 19th century, then there weren't any more burials until WW2. Can anyone confirm? If true, this must be taken at another cemetery.

re: burial
Hi david - you're correct; Yould was buried in the colonial cemetery, 1930s looks likely. I've changed the details from Stanley to HK cemetery
