War Graves at Cambridge

The Second World War graves are also mainly in two War Graves Plots with a few others scattered throughout the cemetery. The Air Force plot was established in 1942 for the burial of casualties from the Air Force stations set up in the eastern counties during the war. These included Bomber Command bases in Lincolnshire and fighter stations in Norfolk and Suffolk. The Stone of Remembrance, which was unveiled by Marshal of the Royal Air Force Lord Tedder in July 1951, stands near the centre of the Air Force plot immediately in front of the pavilion.
