Glasnevin Cemetery contains the graves of 207 men and women who served in the British Armed Forces during World War 1 and World War 2, and whose deaths were officially recognised by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission [ CWGC ] as occurring in war, or from injuries received in war.
For World War 1, a death occurring after 1921 is not officially recognised by the Commission.
For World War 2, a death occurring after 1947 is not officially recognised by the Commission.
10 of those who enlisted in WW1, served under an assumed alias name, or an incorrect spelling of their original surname. These alias names are also noted beside the correct name.
The two memorial monuments were originally located at the South-Eastern side of the cemetery, near "Curran Square". They were moved in Autumn 2011 to a new, more prominent, location at the side of the Chapel.
Up until 2009, the vast majority of these graves were unmarked, with only 10 having their names noted on family headstones. In 2009 the Glasnevin Trust, in association with the CWGC, commenced the erection of official marker headstones. This was completed in 2013.
Each person noted below has their own individual memorial within FIND A GRAVE, which you can connect to using the hyperlink. Their biographies are being updated on a continuing basis, when further information about a person is found.
Please note that this list of surnames is exactly as recorded on the panels, and in several instances are not in strict alphabetical order. As with all such War Memorials only the rank, the initial of the christian name, and surname were engraved on the panels. In the following list, the rank is omitted but the full first name(s) and surname is noted where known or subsequently discovered. The service number, rank and regiment, and personal biography are recorded on the individual's memorial.
Not all graves have individual headstones or markers.
Some were buried in family graves, and are named on the headstone. In these instances, a CWGC "Gallipoli" marker has been placed on the grave.

Glasnevin Cemetery contains the graves of 207 men and women who served in the British Armed Forces during World War 1 and World War 2, and whose deaths were officially recognised by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission [ CWGC ] as occurring in war, or from injuries received in war.
For World War 1, a death occurring after 1921 is not officially recognised by the Commission.
For World War 2, a death occurring after 1947 is not officially recognised by the Commission.
10 of those who enlisted in WW1, served under an assumed alias name, or an incorrect spelling of their original surname. These alias names are also noted beside the correct name.
The two memorial monuments were originally located at the South-Eastern side of the cemetery, near "Curran Square". They were moved in Autumn 2011 to a new, more prominent, location at the side of the Chapel.
Up until 2009, the vast majority of these graves were unmarked, with only 10 having their names noted on family headstones. In 2009 the Glasnevin Trust, in association with the CWGC, commenced the erection of official marker headstones. This was completed in 2013.
Each person noted below has their own individual memorial within FIND A GRAVE, which you can connect to using the hyperlink. Their biographies are being updated on a continuing basis, when further information about a person is found.
Please note that this list of surnames is exactly as recorded on the panels, and in several instances are not in strict alphabetical order. As with all such War Memorials only the rank, the initial of the christian name, and surname were engraved on the panels. In the following list, the rank is omitted but the full first name(s) and surname is noted where known or subsequently discovered. The service number, rank and regiment, and personal biography are recorded on the individual's memorial.
Not all graves have individual headstones or markers.
Some were buried in family graves, and are named on the headstone. In these instances, a CWGC "Gallipoli" marker has been placed on the grave.
