We are proud to announce that two of the memorials at Barrack Square, Martlesham Heath, have gained national recognition for their historical and architectural significance. They are now listed Grade II as of Friday, October 30th 2026.

One, unveiled in 1946 and funded by local villagers, is dedicated to the 72 members of the United States Army Air Force who died whilst serving at Martlesham Heath during the Second World War. The other honours the personnel of the Royal Flying Corps, Royal Air Force, Commonwealth air forces and exiled European air forces who served at Martlesham.
