Spidge:
I think you'll find the picture you used actually shows the WW 1 Cemetery at Ipswich; the main WW 2 military plot for service casualties from 1942 onwards is closeby. The spot where Obolensky is buried is in the North part of the Cemetery, beneath a small copse of trees and with some pre-WW 2 RAF graves closeby.
