Bridlington Cemetery contains 32 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and 37 from the Second World War.

Two men who served with the Yorkshire Regiment are buried in this cemetery. (However, neither man would have served overseas, - one man died in late 1914 while serving with the 5th Battalion, and the other in May 1921, - with the same battalion, aged only 18.)

We are very grateful to Margaret McIntosh (<mmcintosh@talktalk.net>) for photographing the headstones in this cemetery.
