War Memorials & Cemeteries

1,531 servicemen were lost with HM Ships Glorious, Acasta and Ardent.

Each record in the Casualty List identifies where they are remembered, or in a few cases are buried.

Almost all of the servicemen lost with the 3 ships have a memorial or monument where they are remembered.

There is one exception, Giovanni Brincat, a Maltese steward who was lost with Glorious, but was not officially on the crew list. He is remembered by our Association.

In many cases the men are remembered on war memorials in their home towns as well.
