This site is continuously updated from extensive research. If you can't find what you want on this Virtual Memorial, please ask. If there's something we should know  - please tell us   
Help Dover Remember those who gave all they could

Images are optimised; please ask if you require a better quality picture,  Photographs of service headstones in all cemeteries in Dover (and far beyond!) may also be obtained from

The Dover War Memorial Project is run entirely by volunteers.  The total monthly costs of running the Project are here.
