This cemetery is the final resting place for over 2,500 servicemen who died during World War I, with the majority being from the United Kingdom. The cemetery is divided into three sections, with the largest section containing graves of soldiers who died in the nearby Sefton General Hospital. The graves are marked with white headstones, each inscribed with the soldier's name, rank, regiment, and date of death. A Cross of Sacrifice stands at the cemetery's entrance, and a Screen Wall Memorial bears the names of those servicemen whose graves have not been identified. The cemetery is well-manicured, with beautifully maintained lawns and flowerbeds, providing a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere for visitors to pay their respects.
