Northwood Cemetery, Middlesex

Northwood Cemetery occupies a special place in the project for me, as not only does it contain CWGC graves, but it is also where my Mum was laid to rest in April 2000, followed by my Dad in September 2001.

Many of the 63 Second World War Commonwealth burials at Northwood Cemetery were from the Royal Air Force station at Northolt, the premier fighter station for the defence of London and a famous Battle of Britain station. A wing of the Polish Air Force operated from Northolt at this time and 54 Polish airmen are buried in the cemetery. Many of the Second World War graves will be found in the war graves plot in section H, the rest are scattered throughout the cemetery. Northwood Cemetery also contains five graves from the First World War.
