Special Memorials
The enclosures contain several "special memorials" - stone obelisks or specially notated standard gravestones. In Enclosures 1 and 2, there are special memorials to nineteen known burials whose original graves were destroyed in later fighting, and for two men buried in the former Enclosure 4 whose graves were also destroyed.
In Enclosure 3 there are special memorials to fifteen men who are known or believed to be buried on the site, plus other memorials recording five men who were known to be buried in another cemetery but who could not be found when that cemetery was concentrated to the Voormezeele Enclosures after the Armistice.
