National Memorials > Naval Memorials > Chatham
The Chatham Memorial (CWGC Information) in Kent names those members of the Royal Navy or associated units, with a "home port" of Chatham, who died in both World Wars of the 20th C. A number of Isle of Wight men died without a known grave and are named here.
Some of those named attended the Royal Naval College at Osborne, and died as Midshipmen, aged just 15 or 16, in World War I.
Some of the Royal Marines trained on the Isle of Wight in World War II and are also commemorated at Chale and Shanklin.
