Death and Service

There are now more than 1300 servicemen and women commemorated on the Death and Service website.

One thousand graves from across ten counties and over 100 regiments. These are men and women from across Great Britain, the Empire and beyond, who gave their lives for their King and their Country.

Lives cut short by illnesses, injuries, drownings, suicides, car, motorbike and aircraft accidents. The oldest was 67, the youngest just 15 years old.
