Monumenten
Op het ereveld staat een uit Portland-natuursteen vervaardigd centraal kruis, 'Cross of Sacrifice', zoals gebruikelijk op Britse erevelden, waarop een bronzen zwaard is bevestigd. Dit kruis is bedoeld om alle Gemenebest-militairen te gedenken die gesneuveld zijn in Nederland maar nog steeds vermist worden. Vlak achter de poort van het ereveld staat een gedenksteen. De tekst op de steen luidt: Their name liveth for evermore. Aan beide zijden van de poort staat een kleine kapel. In deze kapellen hangt een marmeren plakkaat met de afbeelding van een adelaar en de tekst 1939 - 1945. In beide kapellen is ook een boek aanwezig met alle namen, rangen en graflocaties van de gesneuvelden. Een kleine 200 meter naast het ereveld staat het Air Despatch monument.

Monuments
The plot contains a central cross made of Portland natural stone, 'Cross of Sacrifice', as is customary on British plots, on which a bronze sword is attached. This cross is intended to commemorate all Commonwealth soldiers who died in the Netherlands but are still missing. Just behind the gate of the cemetery there is a memorial stone. The text on the stone reads: Their name lives for evermore. There is a small chapel on either side of the gate. In these chapels there is a marble plaque with the image of an eagle and the text 1939 - 1945. Both chapels also contain a book with all the names, ranks and grave locations of the fallen. The Air Despatch monument is located about 200 meters next to the cemetery.
