CWGC Tours 2024 Chester (Blacon) Cemetery

Not long after the outbreak of the second World War, two large areas were set aside for the burial of service personnel in the newly established Blacon cemetery. By the end of the war, more than 550 servicemen and women had been laid to rest here. Join us for a tour and find out about CWGC and those we commemorate.
