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.

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or graves:
“Haven’t you heard, though,
About the ships where war has found them out
At sea, about the towns where war has come
Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
Further o’erhead than all but stars and angels
And children in the ships and in the towns?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“One, two and many: flesh had made him blind,
Flesh had one pleasure only in the act,
Flesh set one purpose only in the mind—
Triumph of flesh and afterwards to find
Still those same terrors wherewith flesh was racked.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
