Historical Note
At the time of construction, the casualties at this site were commemorated collectively on a memorial within the cemetery without their names. The individual graves were not marked, although the names of casualties known to be commemorated here were included in a cemetery register. In 2001, the names of all identified casualties within the cemetery were added to the memorial.
You can find more information about historical inequalities in commemoration in our Special Committee’s report.
