MARHAM CEMETERY
Country: United Kingdom
Locality: Norfolk
Location Information: Marham is a parish and village 7 miles
north-north-west of Swaffham.
Historical Information: The cemetery, which covers 2 acres, was
first used in 1941 and the land on which it lies was given by a
local landowner to Marham Parish Council. Until June of that year
the Royal Air Force Station at Marham had used the village
churchyard for burials, but a new burial ground became necessary
and this land, within sight of the fifteenth century church, was
given with the proviso that a special section near the
south-eastern boundary should be reserved for RA.F. burials. This
is now the War Graves Plot, and all save two of the 1939-1945 War
graves are in it. The total number of burials in the cemetery is
55, and this figure is made up by 1 soldier and 25 airmen
belonging to the forces of the United Kingdom, 13 airmen of the
Royal Canadian Air Force; 3 airmen of the Royal Australian Air
Force; 7 belonging to the Royal New Zealand Air Force; 1 German
soldier and 5 German airmen. The plot is on rising ground. In
front of the entrance is semi-circular bed and the Cross of
Sacrifice, which honours the servicemen buried here and the 17
who lie in Marham (Holy Trinity) Churchyard, stands beyond it.
No. of Identified Casualties: 57 (source: CWGC 5 Mar 2005)
WARRINGTON
CEMETERY
Country: United Kingdom
Locality: Lancashire
Historical Information: During the two world wars, the United
Kingdom became an island fortress used for training troops and
launching land, sea and air operations around the globe. There
are more than 170,000 Commonwealth war graves in the United
Kingdom, many being those of servicemen and women killed on
active service, or who later succumbed to wounds. Others died in
training accidents, or because of sickness or disease. The
graves, many of them privately owned and marked by private
memorials, will be found in more than 12,000 cemeteries and
churchyards. Warrington was the depot for the South Lancashire
Regiment for both wars and was home to the Lord Derby War
Hospital and White Cross Auxilliary Hospital during the First
World War. During the Second World War, a shore establishment of
the Fleet Air Arm was stationed there. Warrington Cemetery
contains 197 First World War burials, 74 of them in a war graves
plot with a Cross of Sacrifice. The 102 Second World War burials
are scattered. A Polish airman is also buried in the cemetery.
No. of Identified Casualties: 300 (source: CWGC 5 Mar 2005)
