Woolwich Cemetery is in two parts, the Old Cemetery to the west and the New Cemetery to the east. The Old Cemetery was laid out by Woolwich Burial Board in 1856 and the land for the New Cemetery was purchased in 1885 and is still in use. It contains graves of those who died in explosions at Royal Arsenal as well as the War Memorial seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2793135 as well as a number of War Graves. The War Memorial is to those who died in the First World War and this is the inscription on the base.
