This is my first cache.
It is not at the above co-ordinates. They lead to a memorial to ten New Zealand Soldiers who were killed at Bere Ferrers station during the First World War when they were hit by an express train. They had mistakenly disembarked from their train onto the tracks, thinking they had reached Exeter, where rations were to be available. But the train had only stopped at the station to allow the express from Waterloo to pass. Nine of the men died at the scene, with the tenth dying in Tavistock hospital the next day. They were buried at Efford Cemetery in Plymouth.
Information to complete the final co-ordinates can be found in the various parts of the memorial.
