Historical notes: After the Anglo-Boer War, Potchefstroom became the seat of a military
command with a considerable military cantonment. The cemetery was established
for the burial of its garrison troops and their families and was used
for service burials during the First World War. During the Second World
War, training took place at the military camp for all units of the South
African Artillery and a camp hospital was in operation throughout the
war. No. 6 Air School under the Empire Air Training Scheme operated from
the local aerodrome. The military cemetery contains 93 Commonwealth burials
of the First World War and 30 from the Second World War. Because of difficulties
of maintenance, it was decided in 1983 to turn the burial areas into grassed,
park-like gardens. Headstones for war graves, together with headstones
from Potchefstroom non-European cemetery, which had been abandoned and
where maintenance had become impossible, were arranged in plots on the
two sides of the Cross of Sacrifice with explanatory tablets in both official
languages. In addition, a garden of remembrance was provided for the pre-1914
garrison dead immediately to the east of the Cross of Sacrifice. ATKINSON, Sergeant Major, C H, C/125, South African Veteran Reserve. 5 August 1917. Grave Ref. C.E. 471.
