Hamilton at a glance

The Hamilton War Cemetery in Bloemfontein with its 74 Commonwealth graves is one of the 602 burial sites in which 8 440 casualties are commemorated for which the South African Agency of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission is responsible in South Africa. Both the number of burial sites and graves are increasing as Commonwealth casualties previously not included in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's casualty database are added. The cemetery is located close to the War Museum of the Boer Republics and opposite the In Memoriam Municipal Cemetery.

The cemetery features an attractive entrance which was erected in 1982. The entrance gives access to an open grass area with a Cross of Sacrifice directly opposite the entrance. Provided that a train does not rumble pass, the cemetery is one of tranquility, peace and quiet. During 2013 the Mangaung/ Bloemfontein Municipality erected a new historical cemetery name board at the entrance.

To the right on the open grass area are 9 Border War graves as well as a memorial to the Imperial Light Horse Regiment and Kimberley Regiment commemorating the Battles of El Alamein and Monte Salvaro. On the left are the graves of 3 of the 13 members of the South African National Defence Force who were killed in the clashes in the Central African Republic in 2013. As these graves are within the boundary of the cemetery it will be maintained along with the Commonwealth graves.
