Tour of the Muslim burial plot, Brookwood Military Cemetery, Surrey

As part of South Asian Heritage Month, join us to learn the stories of the men we commemorate across the South of England through tours at three locations. These war graves tours will look at the work of the CWGC in commemorating these soldiers and those gave their lives in the First World War and Second World War.

South Asian Heritage Month (18th July to 17th August) seeks to commemorate, mark, and celebrate South Asian cultures, histories, and communities. The month seeks to understand the diverse heritage and cultures that continue to link the UK with South Asia.

The Muslim burial plot was created in the late 1960s when the burials from the Muslim Cemetery in Woking were transferred to Brookwood Military Cemetery so they could be better maintained. There are 19 Muslim servicemen buried here from the First World War and a further 5 burials were made following the Second World War.
