It is immediately east of Deptford (Brockley) Cemetery, however there is no clearly defined boundary between the two sites. There are around 100 burials in the War Plot and their names are inscribed on a Screen Wall Memorial located in Plot D which also commemorates those whose graves are located elsewhere in the cemetery but are not marked by headstones. In addition to the scattered graves in the cemetery there are 46 headstones in the Commission's Commemorative Plot, located in Plot B.
