Deadman's Island: Grave of 'brave' surgeon destroyed by tides

The grave of a "brave" naval surgeon is currently lying in disrepair on an island off the Kent coast.

Deadman's Island, near Sheerness, was used as a mooring site for prison hulks, with erosion now bringing the remains of those who died and were buried there to the surface.

One of the graves belongs to Victorian naval surgeon Dr Sidney Bernard, who risked and ultimately lost his life during an outbreak of deadly yellow fever.
