CWGC Memorial - Nottingham General Cemetery - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

"There is an area for military burials situated by the Waverley Street entrance to the general Cemetery. It was originally laid out for the burial of veterans of the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny, and during World War 1 it was used to bury war dead. By 1917 the designated area for military burials was almost full. The numbers of war dead in Nottingham was high and the General Cemetery was often used for military burials as it was close to a number of military hospitals set up during the War.

At that time a decision was taken to bury 129 men together under a large, white limestone screen built on a raised plinth on which their names are carved."
