Memorial Wall
Sadly, over the years, personnel have lost their lives conducting and assisting with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and search duties. Both within the United Kingdom and across the globe.
Every one of our fallen heroes forms part of a central Roll of Honour at the National Arboretum. This is a fitting tribute to all servicemen and women who have died in the service of their country.
Felix Fund’s memorial wall remembers those serving personnel from the United Kingdom’s EOD and Search community. Above and below the high water mark, who have lost their lives on operational service, or in training. The start date of remembrance is 1st January 1947. The day after President Truman’s historic statement officially declaring the cessation of hostilities of World War II.
Every effort has been made to ensure all information here is correct. We welcome corrections, amendments and additions to ensure we honour all elements of the charity’s remit.
