About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Colonel William Light was buried in Light Square, one of the six squares located in the City of Adelaide. An original memorial was erected in 1843, but after this eroded and crumbled, it was replaced in 1905 with a monumental obelisk. The obelisk is topped by a surveyor's theodolite and signals Light's resting place. The monument notes that William Light is the only person legally buried after European settlement within the Adelaide CBD.
