United Kingdom burials and memorials: WIR and BWIR

The majority of burials are at Seaford, Sussex (19) and Plymouth, Efford Cemetery (13), Weston Mill Cemetery (17) with the remainder in Liverpool and London. Between October 1915 and March 1916, Seaford was used as a training camp for the British West Indies Regiment in preparation for fighting in Europe. Withnoe camp, Whitsand Bay, Plymouth was also an arrival camp. The new arrivals were inadequately clothed for the harsh realities of the British cold in winter and the huts badly insulated.
