Civilian War Dead
Committee member, Danielle Wilson, has been trying to track down all the burial locations of Eastbourne civilians who died from enemy action during WWII. She has combined the Commonwealth War Graves Commission list with that of the Wishtower Memorial List. They are virtually identical where most names are on both lists but a few names are on one list but not on the other, and vice versa. Her combined list has 191 names on it and she has created a virtual cemetery on the website Find A Grave. You can view it here: https://www.findagrave.com/virtual-cemetery/1672783 It currently has 100 names on it. The majority are in Ocklynge and Langney Cemeteries. Research is continuing to find the burial locations of the remaining 91 names. Where a grave has not been located, Danielle has created memorials for them in Find A Grave. This is so they can be viewed all together.
