War Graves
The cemetery contains the graves of 55 Commonwealth service personnel of World War I and 15 from World War II. A Screen Wall memorial lists those whose graves could not be marked by headstones.
Most of the almost 700 United States servicemen who died in Liverpool hospitals during World War I were initially buried in this cemetery. After the war the remains were reburied in Brookwood American Cemetery, or repatriated to the USA.
