Commonwealth War Graves Teignmouth Cemetery

On Teignmouth Cemetery are 25 Commonwealth war graves from World War I and 24 from World War II. In total there are 49 scattered war graves in the cemetery. Some of these are "Personal Memorial" graves – i.e. they are family graves in which someone recognised by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) has also been buried.

The majority though are CWGC sites. In general, as with the rest of the cemetery, the graves have not been well tended. There are exceptions where volunteers have previously taken it upon themselves to look after some of the graves.
