Location
About half way along the Western wall of Kingston Cemetery (see map).
Details
This memorial commemorates those civilians who lost their lives in bombing raids during WW2. It was erected in November 2011 as a replacement for one that was vandalised during the summer of that year. The original plaques displayed the names in approximate order of the date of death, including the inscription "Unidentified" where relevant; the replacement plaques show the names in alphabetical order and group the unidentified together as a single common commemoration.
