St Mary's Harefield ANZAC Cemetery.

St Mary's Harefield is the site of a little-known resting place of over a hundred ANZAC casualties of the World Wars (120 from WW1 and 6 from WW2). The casualties were evacuated from France for treatment at the Harefield Park Hospital. The hospital is now World-famous as Harefield Heart Hospital.

Few people are aware of this hidden gem of a cemetery, an outpost and resting place of over a hundred Anzac victims of the two World Wars who were evacuated from France for treatment at the nearby Harefield Park Hospital (now the world famous Harefield Heart Hospital) and succumbed to their wounds. There are 120 victims from WW1 and six from WW2. Uniquely for a CWGC site, their graves have scroll-shaped headstones, which were chosen by the staff and patients at the hospital. In the centre of the cemetery there is a memorial obelisk which was erected by Sir Francis Newdegate, late Governor of Tasmania and of Western Australia, and Mr. C.A.M. Billyard-Leake, who donated Harefield Park for use as a treatment and rehabilitation facility. As with all CWGC sites, there is a serenity that belies the horrific way these brave young men died. The cemetery is a separate part of the churchyard of St Mary's Church. There is a sign on Church Hill, which directs visitors to the Anzac graves.
