There was a Russia Memorial at Brookwood Cemetery Surrey on which those that fell in Archangel ( and a few others ) are remembered. The Memorial commemorates 662 sailors, soldiers and airmen of the Armed forces of the British Commonwealth who died in Russia during both World Wars It was erected there about 1983 due to the fact the CWGC could no longer tend the graves or memorials in Russia, due to the Cold War. With the changes in Russia I believe that although some are lost - the graves area and or memorials are once again in the care of the CWGC. There was talk some time ago of the possibility of the Brookwood Memorial now being taken away - as it was the policy of the CWGC to have only one mention of each fallen Does anybody know what happened to it ?
I believe that this memorial was still standing last year when i went, but will check it out next time i visit later this year. Sniper
