ANZAC Cemetery

The military cemetery in Codford St Mary, the second largest of its kind in the UK, lies in a peaceful spot by the parish church and contains the graves of 31 Australian and 66 New Zealand soldiers from the First World War.

Since the end of the First World War, these servicemen have been remembered on Anzac Day – 25th April (or the Sunday nearest to it) by the residents of Codford. A dawn service in the cemetery is followed by a ‘Gunfire Breakfast’ of coffee and rum and ANZAC biscuits, and there is a further service at nearby Sutton Veny.
