Site: German war memorial - WW1 (1 memorial)
N11, Brunswick Park Road, New Southgate Cemetery
The Germans buried here were civilians, not members of the armed forces. Germans, and some other nationalities, living in Britain were considered enemy aliens and 17,000 were interned in Alexandra Palace, not all at the same time. One assumes the deaths were of natural causes (and the 1918-20 flu pandemic) although internment may have been a contributing factor. Also, it seems unlikely that burial here was mandatory; it's possible that some, possibly most, of those that died were buried near their homes.
Originally the monument stood on the other side of the path, opposite its current (2016) position. The memorial was restored in 1993.
