War Grave Week 2023

​War Graves Week 2023 will run from Saturday 20 May to Monday 28 May. It celebrates the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in the UK and around the world. Throughout this period the Commonwealth War Graves Commission invites you to discover, learn and remember about the lives of the 1.7million men and women of the Commonwealth they commemorate. 
​
At Yeovilton we care for over 100 Armed Forces personnel who have lost their lives while serving, of which 38 are WWII fatalities - 16 in the old churchyard and the remainder in the Royal Naval Cemetery to the rear of the church. There is unlimited access to all of the graves, but the church will be manned every weekday afternoon during War Graves Week if you want to find out more about the men and women commemorated with us.
