The authorities there wish to obtain photographs of those servicemen interred there, and, also of those who died but have no known grave. The photographs will be placed in the man’s records, and, will also be displayed on the walls of the Cemetery Hall of Remembrance for all time.

The following names are some of the young men from the East Midlands area who gave their lives in Korea.
