    The magnificent Lowestoft Memorial - Royal Naval Patrol Service Memorial

    The RNPS Memorial stands in an imposing position on the cliff top in Belle Vue Park, Lowestoft, overlooking the sea and Sparrow's Nest Gardens. It was erected and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

    The Memorial solely commemorates those members of RNPS who died during 1939-1946 who have no known grave other than the sea and a few others who died on shore but have no known grave. Many others died in RNPS service but their burial places are known and recorded elsewhere and so their names are not amongst those on this Memorial.
    Dedicated in 1953 it consists of a circular base some 40 feet in diameter with a fluted column surmounted by a gilt bronze galleon. Around the base is a panel of Portland stone with the main inscription and 17 bronze panels listing the 2385 names of those lost including 49 from Newfoundland.
