MEETING POINT at the notice board at Tankerville Terrace entrance next to West Jesmond Primary School.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne (St. Andrew's and Jesmond) Cemetery contains 183 First World War burials, about half of them in a war graves plot. The 30 Second World War burials are scattered throughout the cemetery. There are also 11 Norwegian seamen buried in the cemetery; their graves are grouped together.

Uneven ground at the cemetery, hilly with slopes so unsuitable for wheelchair access. Parking nearby and there are regular buses from the city centre to the Town Moor/Forsyth Road stop. There are no facilities or toilets at this location.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and suitable footwear.

The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) aims to actively engage all communities with the work of the CWGC by telling the inspiring stories through education and outreach projects.

The CWGF is an independent charity registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (1171947) and Scotland (SC051982).
