About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Civilian War Memorial was built in memory of the 280 people who perished in the Greenock Blitz, which was the name given to the Nazi German Luftwaffe's intensive bombing of the town of Greenock, Scotland on May 6-7, 1941 during the Second World War, although earlier bombings have occurred on the same town the year before.

The raids targeted the many ships and shipyards around the town but, just like the Clydebank Blitz of March 1941, the brunt of the bombing was taken by civilians. In addition to those who perished, over 1,200 were also injured. Out of 18,000 homes, nearly 10,000 suffered damage and 1,000 were destroyed outright.

Inscription: Dedicated to the everlasting memory of the citizens of Greenock who died as a result of the air raids 1940 – 1941
