War Memorials
Plymouth City Council is responsible for the maintenance on all but one war grave within the city. We have one Commonwealth War Grave in Plymouth on the Hoe. This is maintained by the War Graves Commission, please see the table below for details.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission generally has overall responsibility for the maintenance of Commonwealth war graves in the United Kingdom. For further information on this subject they have a free information sheet entitled 'The Work of The Commonwealth War Graves Commission in the United Kingdom' that can be downloaded from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website.
