Military Cemetery - Harefield, London, Greater London, England

During World War I, Harefield Park was used as an Australian military hospital. The bodies of the servicemen who died there were buried with full military honours within the graveyard of St. Mary's Church; this area, which also included the ground where the Harefield Place building stood, became a military cemetery.
The churchyard also contains six graves of the Second World War.

To the
glory of God who
giveth us the victory
and in memory of brave
Australian soldiers
who after taking
part in the Great
War now rest in
Harefield churchyard.

This memorial is erected by
Sir Francis Newdegate K. C. M. G.
now Governor of Western Australia
and formerly of Tasmania
honorary Colonel eleventh battalion
Commonwealth Military Forces
and Charles Arthur Moresby Billyard-Leake Esq.
of Harefield Park.
A. D. 1921
