ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
Liverpool (Kirkdale) Cemetery contains 386 Canadian and British First World War graves and 106 Second World War burials of Commonwealth personnel, together with nine servicemen from other nations — mostly Americans.
Shalva Galantia died in 1945 and is buried here. Unlike most of the Soviet burials on this platform, his record carries no grave reference and no archive record numbers, and the attribution of its research is itself recorded as uncertain. The burial is stated; its place within the cemetery is not.
Address: Longmoor Ln, Liverpool L9 9EN.
What this page does not claim
- A grave reference. None is recorded and none is supplied.
- That the burial is confirmed against the CWGC or OBD Memorial registers. No record numbers are held, unlike most Soviet burials on this platform.
- That the research attribution is established. The veteran record hedges it itself.
- Coordinates.
ⓘHow is each connection known?›
- FROM THE RECORDA record on this platform states this connection, quoted here in its own words.
- CITED SOURCEAn external cited source states this connection.
- SEVERAL SOURCESNo single source states this connection; it follows from several independent pieces of evidence, named here.
- OUR CONCLUSIONThe platform's own editorial judgement, not a statement by a source.
This describes one connection, not the page as a whole: the D1-D5 tier at the top of the page says what the record itself rests on. A connection can rest on a direct statement by a source even where the record around it is weakly supported, and the other way round.
Buried here
- Shalva Galantia
FROM THE RECORD“Private Shalva Satenovich Galantia is buried at Liverpool (Kirkdale) Cemetery, Merseyside, England.”
Our note: The record names no grave reference, so the burial is asserted without a place within the cemetery.
