    The British war cemetery in Bergen op Zoom houses the graves of 1,296 fallen soldiers. An identical tomb of white natural stone with an emblem and a cross in relief has been placed at each grave. In the center is the 'Cross of Sacrifice', made of Portland natural stone. A bronze sword is mounted on the cross. It is a standard Commonwealth War Graves Commission cross. In the foreground of the cemetery is 'The Stone of Memory'.

    In the hall that provides access to the cemetery, there is a register with the names of these soldiers.
    The British war cemetery reminds the residents of Bergen op Zoom of the 1,296 allied soldiers of the British Commonwealth who died during the battle for possession of the Scheldt estuary.


    The memorial is under the protection of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. There are a total of sixteen British Commonwealth war cemeteries in the Netherlands.
