Hi there - Special Memorials are headstones which commemorate men known to be buried in a cemetery but the exact location of the grave is not known. They were erected by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission when the cemeteries were made permanent.
As for a guide for the September tour, I haven't as yet allocated anyone for that yet.
