A poignant memorial is the military section, also known as the soldiers’ plot, in the north-east corner of Earlham Cemetery in Norwich. This includes more than 200 graves and memorials from the 1870s with a centrepiece sculpture entitled ‘Spirit of the Army’ by Norfolk-born sculptor John Bell, whose previous works had included the Crimean War Artillery Memorial at Woolwich. Initially those buried here were peacetime soldiers based at one of the city’s barracks who died as a result of accident or sickness. The majority are of soldiers from the First World War, but there are some airmen and one boy seaman, many of whom died in local hospitals and were too far away from their homes to be buried there. One especially interesting Commonwealth War Graves Commission headstone marks the grave of Captain and Quartermaster George Clements of the Royal Dragoons. He was a veteran of the Crimean battles of the Alma, Balaclava and Inkerman who died in 1916 aged 85.
