Wartime Memorial
This is a rather unusual memorial in Kensal Green cemetery. It commemorates those interred whose graves and monuments were totally destroyed in the London Blitz. The second image is one of a number taken by the excellent photographer Fin Fahey showing bomb damaged memorials at Kensal Green. More of his work can be found HERE

Welcome to the Graveyard Detective
An illustrated look at the World of Graveyards and Cemeteries. There are many Stories behind the Stones that Stand in them. Who knows what we might find?

So no doubt a lot of graves were blown up and destroyed as well.
From the notes I glimpsed, Bill, one of the chapels was damaged including one of the catacombs and a large area was completely obliterated. Fresh burials have since taken place on the site so you could say the site was buried over!
