Brookwood Military Cemetery Visit

Sunday 16th April 2023

A morning visit led by a CWGC approved guide.  Brookwood Military Cemetery is owned by the CWGC and is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom with 5627 casualties as well as the graves of combatants from many other nations. 

Meet: 10.30am, duration about 1½ - 2 hours. The main entrance to Brookwood Military Cemetery is on the A324, Dawney Hill Road, Pirbright, Surrey. The postcode for Brookwood is GU24 0JB.

I am told the White Hart pub in Pirbright is a good venue for lunch for anyone interested in refreshment after the visit. 

Please let Chris know if you are planning to attend so he can confirm numbers with the CWGC guide.
