There are a number of large stylised horse shapes cut into the chalk slopes on the Salisbury Plain and in 1917 an Australian Brigade Commander had the idea of cutting a Rising Sun into the chalk. In 1942 it was buried to prevent it becoming a bomb target and uncovered again after the war.
There are 97 ANZAC troops from Australia and New Zealand buried in this cemetery, men evacuated from the front line to the hospital in this area. This war grave cemetery is the second largest in England.
