    Default Military burials UK and overseas

    These burials are in various sites in England, Cyprus, Egypt, Malta and Singapore. The earliest is in 1756 in Sheerness Dockyard church; the most recent in 1985 in Bordon Garrison Military Cemetery https://www.

    [Added June 2016] I've just found that the above link doesn't take you direct to the page with the list of military places.
    To access the list, click 'coverage' in the top banner, search by 'name' in the drop-down menu, and then from the alpha list click on Aldershot Military Burial Ground (The National Archives).

    From the page on Deceased Online -
    "The collection of Military Burial Records comprises various collections including those with the following TNA references: ADM 6, ADM 73, ADM 305 and WO 156."

    They are not to be confused with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries and memorials which cover the two World Wars.

    I don't know if any of the Maltese burials overlap with those on the Malta Family History site.

    Note that this site has indexes on two pages, and that records also include baptisms, marriages and deaths of service personnel family members, not just the servicemen.
