Cambridge City Cemetery

It is to the north of the city, at the junction of Newmarket Road and Ditton Lane, near to Cambridge Airport.

Over 180 of the graves date from World War I when the No.1 Eastern General Hospital was located in Cambridge.

There are 829 service burials from World War II; three of the servicemen buried here are unknown.

The General Service plot was established in 1940, and the larger Air Force plot in 1942 for the burial of casualties from the Royal Air Force stations set up in the eastern counties during the war, which included Bomber Command bases in Lincolnshire and fighter bases in Norfolk and Suffolk.

The Stone of Remembrance, reserved for cemeteries with over 1,000 Commonwealth service burials, was unveiled in the Air Force plot by Marshal of the Royal Air Force Lord Tedder in July 1951.
