First World War graves in Woolwich New Cemetery
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 the Royal Arsenal, as well as the War Memorial and a number of War Graves, including one recipient of the Victoria Cross - see Link

This is part of a scattered grouping of war graves in the north-east part of the cemetery but there are a great many others scattered all around the cemetery. One group together can be seen at Link
