War graves in Woolwich Old Cemetery
Woolwich Cemetery is in two parts, west and east, divided by Rockliffe Gardens. This is the Old Cemetery to the west, founded in 1856 by the Woolwich Burial Board. They laid out the 12-acre site which was formerly part of Plumstead Common.

These war graves from the First World War are close to the chapel. None of the names on this memorial are found on the actual graves. See also Link and Link

When I revisited two months later the memorial had been tidied up Link
