The garden is a strip of land beside the Millennium Chapel of Peace and Forgiveness. There is a white, memorial stone in the garden displaying the name and dedication.
The Army Benevolent Fund provides support to members of the Army including soldiers who are wounded or widowed families. There is a Rose Fund Tribute Book held inside the nearby Chapel which shows you who is remembered with the roses. Many young soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan are remembered here.
Plaques appear in front of the border with dedications upon them.
