The New Brentford Cemetery includes 55 Commonwealth War Graves, - 53 from the First World War and 2 from the Second World War. Many of the burials are scattered, and some of the burials are marked by family headstones.

Amongst the graves are those of two soldiers who served with the Yorkshire Regiment.

We are very grateful to Wayne Bywater (<waynetyke123@aol.com>) for the photos of the headstones of the Yorkshire Regiment soldiers, and of the cemetery.
