    I photographed all the names on those blocks in 2010 and posted them on another thread. Time has obscured the names and are difficult to read now.

    Family relatives are also buried there. Two were buried there, victims of a V2 Rocket attack in Sydenham.

    Yes mate they are weather worn
    There are 2 large mass burial mounds close to the memorial
    I managed to take quite a few civilian graves most of which are still in good condition

    My dad went to that school at the time of the raid. IIRC he went home for lunch when the raid happened. My mum and dad share a grave in the cemetery now.
