About this Event
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission commemorates just over 70 casualties from the World Wars at Whitby (Larpool) Cemetery. Join us to learn more about the work of the CWGC and discover the hidden stories of some of those we commemorate at the site.
The stories will include casualties from both World Wars who died at sea, in the air and on land.
Our tours are free to the public, but if you would like to support us then please consider donating to our charity The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF).
