War memorials

We're responsible for the maintenance of all but one war grave on the Hoe, which is maintained by the War Graves Commission.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission generally has overall responsibility for the maintenance of Commonwealth war graves in the United Kingdom. For further information please visit the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website.
