National Memorials > Naval Memorials > Plymouth
The Plymouth Memorial (CWGC Information) in Devon names those members of the Royal Navy or associated units, with a "home port" of Plymouth or Devonport, 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 the Royal Marines of 40 RM Commando trained on the Isle of Wight in World War II and are also commemorated at Chale and Shanklin.
There are also entries for men named in the Crusaders Union Book of Remembrance which is held at Seaview, but none are Isle of Wight men. (Entries marked CU)
The memorial, panels and individual names were photographed by Geoff Allan on 10 November 2024 following the Remembrance Sunday service.
