To find this this memorial it may help to know that it is in section 213 (as shown in an old plan displayed near the main entrance). Our pin is correct.
The WW1 names are inscribed on the tilted top of the surrounding wall. We've not found an image of this memorial before the WW2 changes were made, but it's likely that there was no raised section at the west end, and that the tilted top of the low wall with its list of WW1 names just continued at the same level all the way around. It's also likely that the stones bearing the text "Here are recorded .... buried in this cemetery." were at that time lower on the wall, still at the west end and still just below the tilted top. And that that was the only inscription there.
has "... a Screen Wall memorial lists casualties of both world wars whose graves could not be marked by headstones, besides five Second World War servicemen who were cremated...".
In 2025 we could not find this memorial at the of war memorials, nor at , so, as far as we can see, our transcription of the names is the first.
