MEETING POINT is outside the cemetery cafe at the north entrance on Old Brompton Road.

Learn about the CWGC and it's work looking after the 381 casualities commemorated in the cemetery. The tour differs from those held in 2025. You will hear about a military aviation pioneer, a soldier who formed an orchestra whilst a prisoner in WW1, another who escaped, but sadly died during the flu panademic at the end on WW1, a POW who worked on the Death Railway in WW2, plus many other ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things and paid the ultimate price.
