Duhallow Block

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Duhallow Block is a type of memorial that is erected where graves have been lost, for example when they have been destroyed by subsequent conflict. It is a marker stone which is found in cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.[1]

Duhallow Blocks are accompanied by individual memorials for the dead. These often bear an inscription, "Their Glory Shall Not Be Blotted Out", words from the Bible which Rudyard Kipling put forward to the Commission for use on special memorials.[2]

One of two Duhallow Blocks at Duhallow ADS Cemetery. This one records the destruction of graves at Fusilier Wood.
