A military historian is calling for greater protection of the gravestone for First World War heroine Edith Cavell after finding it covered in muddy footprints.
Richard Knight, 57, from Marsham, an experienced guide of First World War battlefield visits for school students in France and Belgium for Anglia Tours, said was shocked to see people had been disrespectful to the nurse s memory.

A man recruited his friends and staged his own violent kidnapping in a bid to get his own family to pay a £400 ransom.
Kyle Nunn made harrowing phone calls, sent Facebook messages and made video calls featuring two hammer-wielding men in a derelict building, Norwich Crown Court heard.
The 29-year-old told his family he had been hit with a hammer and knee-capped - and said if the £400 was not paid, the beatings would continue.
Joe Bird, prosecuting, told the court that the family could get £200 and Nunn later turned up at Norwich Railway Station where money was handed over.

Proposed changes at the station include a section of Thorpe Road becoming buses, cycles and taxis-only, while changes would mean buses would no longer have to use the station forecourt.
