Police are appealing for information after racist graffiti was daubed on 20 servicemen's graves in Bristol.
The graves, where members of the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy who died during World War II are buried, were defaced with white paint.
The vandalism happened in Arnos Vale Cemetery between 1400 GMT on Tuesday 30 March and 1000 GMT on Wednesday.
Sergeant Adam Bunting said police would be "relentless" in bringing those responsible to justice.
"This is a despicable crime ," he said.
"I am confident the offender or offenders would have returned home covered in white paint so I would urge anyone who may have information to contact us."
Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to call the police or Crimestoppers.
