MEETING POINT is inside the main gate by the Royal British Legion Memorial.

Merthyr Dyfan has over one hundred and ten casualties from both World Wars. Both Summer tours will be completely different from War Graves Week and from each other. We will visit private memorials and Commonwealth War Graves headstones of casualties from all three of the armed services and the Merchant Navy from both World Wars. There are casualties from a couple of European Countries and from Canada.

Plenty of on-street parking on Cemetery Approach and surrounding streets; on-site facilities including toilets with disability access; good pathways but ground is undulating in places.

Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.

The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) aims to actively engage all communities with the work of the CWGC by telling the inspiring stories through education and outreach projects.

The CWGF is an independent charity registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (1171947) and Scotland (SC051982).

Organised by

Across Britain there are war graves and memorials at over 12,000 locations. From towering and dramatic memorials which bear the names of tens of thousands of missing personnel, to small and intimate local churchyards where perhaps only one service person is commemorated, there is so much to discover.
