War Memorial in Lenham Cemetery

This War Memorial is in the cemetery adjacent to the busy A20. The gravestones to the side are 46 R.E.M.E. 6th Guards Tank Brigade workshop personnel stationed between Lenham and Charing killed by a flying bomb on 24 June 1944. However, the smaller cross contains the names of all 52 killed in this incident (see supplementary photograph). A small plaque appears on the left-hand pillar gates to the cemetery.
Also in the cemetery are 36 Canadian war graves from WWI probably from the wartime Canadian Hospital that was located nearby.
