Garden of Remembrance - Port St. Mary, Isle of Man - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

The Garden of Remembrance is a paved area overlooking the bay with two sloping grey tablets with names inscribed in white letters.

Between the two tablets are cast bronze poppies and a flagpole.

Each grey stone tablet is headed:
We will remember them
Cooineemayd orroo
followed by an alphabetical list of names irrespective of the war in which they fought, giving the forename and surname in full followed by the abbreviation of the unit in which they served and either WWI or WWII.
The tablets are flanked by metal railings to right and left and between the two tablets these railings are in the form of poppies, being formed of slightly curving upright railings representing the stalks with well crafted wrought iron poppy heads. Right in the centre between the two pillars/tablets is a flagpole (usually) flying the flag of the Isle of Man. The area immediately in front of the pillars/tablets is paved with red and grey brick, set into which are upward facing lights that illuminate the pillars/tablets from below (large white lights illuminating the tablets and smaller, red, lights illuminating the poppies). Inside the area of the memorial garden, the entrance is flanked by well maintained grassed areas complete with wooden benches with dedication plaques (not war-related but to individual local people) and a litter bin to keep the area tidy

There is a grey plaque next to the entrance inscribed with black lettering which reads as follows:
