A recording on Facebook of last Thursday's CWGC Live session with CWGC Historian, Lynelle Howson and University of Essex Professor Lucy Noakes.
A search tip for looking for Second World War civilian dead in a location is to search under Cemetery of Memorial with the name of the community followed by a comma, (e.g Great Yarmouth,). All those buried by the municipality and in the database will be displayed.

Interesting how one can come across memorials to the WWII civilian war dead. I first saw one at the Shoreditch Church, St Leonard's in 2010, while staying in London for 5 weeks, and tracing my family. I had never before realized that such memorials had existed.You can see photos of the stone here: http://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/195013
