Known Holders of the Victoria Cross
Commemorated in Brookwood Cemetery
 The following tables list the known holders
of the Victoria Cross commemorated in the Cemetery. There are two lists: one for
those known to be buried at Brookwood and one for those commemorated on a
memorial. The total of 15 is one of the highest for any British
cemetery.
Memorial to James Hollowell VC
Further information listed here is courtesy
of David Harvey, whose definitive book,
Monuments to Courage:
Victoria Cross Headstones & Memorials (1999), is highly recommended for
further reading.
The grave of
Ross L. Mangles will
be our next restoration project and donations are invited to assist with the
cost of the work involved.
The Brookwood Cemetery Society organises
guided walks during the course of the year, some of which feature these parish plots.
Our VC trail is now available - see
our list of publications
for further details.
