About the memorial: This is not technically a war memorial as it marks a burial site. It is under the care of the CWGC whose graves and memorials are offical commemorative sites as opposed to local or community war memorials created by public subscription which are the focus of this website. See the What is a war memorial section of this website for further information. From CWGC website: 'BOURNEMOUTH CREMATORIUM is situated in the Bournemouth North Cemetery and the names of 34 servicemen and women of the Second World War whose remains were cremated there are inscribed on a screen wall. BOURNEMOUTH NORTH CEMETERY contains 110 Second World War burials, 75 of them forming a plot to the right of the main entrance, the rest scattered. The war graves plot was used for the burial of airmen from various RAF stations in the area prior to the opening of RAF Regional Cemeteries and 23 of the 41 airmen who lie there were killed during an air raid on 23 May 1943.'

As a conservation charity which gives grants War Memorials Trust can support repair and conservation works that follow best conservation practice. Grants are awarded from funds raised by the charity so money available is limited and is therefore focused on eligible war memorials.

War Memorials Trust’s Definition of a war memorial for funding purposes helpsheet explains which war memorials are eligible and ineligible for funding.

As a charity, War Memorials Trust relies on voluntary donations and every contribution, no matter how large or small, makes a really big difference to our work. Your donation will help protect and conserve war memorials for future generations so please support War Memorials Trust’s work.
