Description / Background

Albury War Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (C.W.G.C.) site, containing burials and war graves of Second World War veterans. Each grave is marked with a Commission headstone, inscribed with the veteran's military service details and the emblem of their service branch.

The entrance to the cemetery is a stone, brick, and concrete wall, which has two plaques attached. One is made of stone and is inscribed with the name of the cemetery. The other is a bronze plaque, which gives a brief history of Albury's role during the war. 

The whole site is neatly landscaped and features wide grassed areas, flowering plants, and shrubs. A focal point in the garden is a large, stone cross, with a brass sword attached.
