Also found here is the Cross of Sacrifice, a large cross symbolizing the sacrifice of all soldiers of the Commonwealth who fought in the war. The cemetery is surrounded by trees and flowers, which creates a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Take in views of the nearby Hill 70 Memorial, which features an obelisk, carvings, and panels that tell you more about the battle.
