History

The War Cemetery is located within Ipswich General Cemetery, on the corner of Cemetery and Warwick Roads, the triangular plot, containing 68 burials, is delineated on two sides by shrubs. A Cross of Sacrifice stands in one of the triangular points.

During WWII a number of Australian units were stationed in the Brisbane-Ipswich area. Many of the casualties resulted from air training accidents at the No. 6 Aircraft Depot at Oakey and the Air Base at Amberley.
