Newcastle under Lyme Cemetery is the last resting place of just over a hundred servicemen and women who lost their lives during the First and Second World Wars. Most were local from the Newcastle area but there are also graves of men who travelled half-way around the world to serve. Your knowledgeable local Guide will tell you the stories of some of the Newcastle men who braved the skies over Germany, a local woman in Bomber Command who lost her life in a tragic flying accident and the story of a young Canadian who died a long way from his home in British Columbia. Along side the many CWCG graves there you will also see some military graves of service personnel who died in other more recent conflicts.
