Carlisle (Dalston Road) Cemetery

  • Description

    We commemorate over 270 Commonwealth servicemen and women of both world wars in this cemetery, along with members of Polish, German and Italian forces. During the First World War, the Fusehill War Hospital was established in the old Poor Law Hospital and some schools in Carlisle. Of the 134 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, 79 are in a plot on the eastern side of Ward XI and the remainder scattered in other parts of the cemetery. There are 128 Commonwealth graves of the Second World War, around half of which are situated in the War Graves Plot, which adjoins the 1914-1918 War Plot......
