Reading Cemeteries Commonwealth War Graves Plaques

Reading will be commemorating Commonwealth Day on Monday 10th March with the unveiling of memorial plaques at three locations of Commonwealth war graves.

The plaques are being unveiled after Reading resident Liz Tait suggested that in this, the centenary of the start of the First World War, we should also remember the many soldiers from the Commonwealth who gave up their lives.

There is thought to be over 300 Commonwealth burials in Reading, and Henley Road Cemetery, Hemdean Road Cemetery and Reading Old Cemetery at Cemetery Junction will all have their own memorial plaques.
