Remembrance Day
 The Remembrance Day event honors all who gave their lives fighting for freedom but especially remembering the 20 British cadets who died in training accidents or after illnesses while receiving their pilot training at the No. 1 British Flying Training School in Terrell, Texas during World War II.    These young men are buried in a designated area of the cemetery under the British flag.   The plots were lovingly maintained by Terrell residents until World War II ended when the Commonwealth War Graves Commission assumed care.

What Visitors Say...

  • Informative and insightful

    “The staff at the museum were friendly, and greeted us upon arrival. We began the tour by watching an introductory video that was impactful since it begins with a veteran being interviewed. It’s an easy and informative experience because it’s laid out in chronological order. We were also given an interesting tour of real planes flown in that time period.”

  • Compact but tells a very interesting story

    “Compact but interesting museum with friendly staff who were very welcoming. The exhibits tell a good story about the young men who passed through the school, and the overwhelming enthusiasm of the locals to host them. Well worth a look, admission is free but donations are fully deserved.”
