Shorncliffe
SHORNCLIFFE MILITARY CEMETERY is on the West Side of Shorncliffe Camp, between Cheriton Church and Sandgate railway station. It belongs to the War Department, as a permanent military cemetery. It contains 490 War Graves, including 18 Belgian (in a mausoleum) and one portuguese; and a War Cross is erected in a central position. Three hundred and five of the burials are Canadian, from the Camps near by and the Machine Gun School; the Camps were served by the Shorncliffe Military Hospital (later No. 9 Canadian General), the Moore Barracks Military Hospital (later No. II Canadian General), and other Canadian hospitals, and the C.A.M.C. training Depot was at or near Shorncliffe during almost the whole of the War. A memorial will be placed in the Army School of Education at Shorncliffe to the Canadian soldiers who, on three occasions, were killed in air raids in this district. One American and two Belgian graves have been removed.
