Begraafplaasinligting:-
Die gedenktuin is geleë in die militêre gronde buite Potchefstroom.
Dit is nie ‘n begraafplaas nie maar ‘n gedenktuin vir WWI & II gesneuweldes wie elders in Potchefstroombegraafplaas begrawe is.
Daar is egter ook ‘n aantal oorspronklike gedenkstene van die Britse weermag vir die post-ABO periode tot ca 1914 – die stene verteenwoordig hoofsaaklik Britse troepe hier oorlede in daardie tydperk asook ‘n aantal afhanklikes – eggenotes en kinders.
Die gedenktuin is netjies en word goed versorg.
