RAF Fauld/the Hanbury Crater is the site of one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history and the largest to occur on UK soil.
It is believed that the bodies of as many as 18 casualties [16 civilian-recorded here, and 2 military] were lost/destroyed and therefore the Fauld [otherwise known as Hanbury] Crater is their grave.
It was not until May 2015 that the names of the civilians who died were added to the Civilian War Dead Roll of Honour maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission-their Official Point of Commemoration is the Books of Remembrance in Westminster Abbey, London. As at May 2015, 57 Civilian casualties are officially commemorated.The graves of 41 civilians were not recorded.
The exact death toll is still uncertain; it is believed that about 70 people died in the explosion and the aftermath.
Two of the names on the memorial have been found not to have been killed in this incident-they died of natural causes later.There is also a memorial to the victims at the National Memorial Arboretum.

The Italian Prisoners of War were laid to rest in Burton-on-Trent Cemetery.
Two of the 11 military casualties [Leading Aircraftman John Thomas Bailey and Leading Aircraftman Henry Charles Fairbanks]
whose bodies were destroyed are commemorated on the Runnymede memorial;the remaining nine are interred in wargraves maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and their graves are their Official Point of Commemoration.

The accident happened at 11:11am on Monday, 27 November 1944 at the RAF Fauld underground munitions storage depot. Between 3,500 and 4,000 tonnes of ordnance exploded mostly comprising high explosive (HE)-filled bombs, but a variety of other types of weapons and 500 million rounds of rifle ammunition exploded. The explosion crater with a depth of 100 feet and 250 yards across is still clearly visible just south of the village of Fauld, to the east of the village of Hanbury. A reservoir nearby containing 450,000 cubic metres of water was obliterated in the incident, along with a number of buildings including a complete farm. Flooding caused by destruction of the reservoir added to the damage directly caused by the explosion and most civilians died off-site due to the flooding caused by the reservoir bursting.
The explosion was thought to have released about one-fifth of the force felt when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. It was heard in Birmingham - 32 miles away - and seismologists in Switzerland thought they had detected an earthquake.
