National Arboretum
Sadly, over the years other personnel have lost their lives conducting and assisting with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) duties, both within the United Kingdom and across several theatres of operation. All are remembered by their respective units and every one of our fallen forms part of a central Roll of Honour at the National Arboretum, a fitting tribute to all serviceman and women who have died in the service of their country.
In addition to this there is now an EOD memorial at the National Arboretum which is dedicated to all Ammunition Technicians and Ammunition Technical Officers of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps and Royal Logistic Corps who gave their lives whilst on operational duties.
