About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Portland Naval Cemetery is located on the "Isle" of Portland (actually a peninsula), known for a type of oolitic limestone called Portland Stone, which was used extensively for gravestones in the original Imperial (now Commonwealth) War Graves Commission cemeteries in France and Belgium after World War I. Portland was a Royal Naval base until 2005, and the Cemetery is located on Admiralty property, three-quarters of a mile due east of Portland railway station. It is divided into three parts, Church of England, Roman Catholic and Non-Conformist, and contains 60 identified and 5 unidentified military burials from World War I, 20 identified and 5 unidentified burials from World War II, 12 WWII German airmen, and 1 Norwegian Merchant Navy seaman.
