The US War Memorial, also known as the American War Memorial, is a burial ground with historical significance that honors fallen soldiers from the 1st and 2nd World Wars. The cemetery has a separate burial ground for soldiers from the Commonwealth of Nations, where the graves are marked with individual gravestones made of white Portland stone. At the back of the burial ground stands the Cross of Sacrifice, which was unveiled in 1949, and serves as a symbol of those who have sacrificed their lives in war.

The memorial also includes a burial ground for Soviet soldiers, established in 1947, as well as several free-standing monuments that help to remember those who have fallen. The cemetery has undergone grave relocations, which has been part of its development and preservation. This place is an important part of war history and a reminder of those who have served in conflict.
