Alongside the Commonwealth war graves in this cemetery, the CWGC cares for those of 25 French sailors of the WW1, and one Dutch sailor and eight Norwegians of WW2. The headstones shown bear a design agreed in consultation with Norwegian authorities and are made of Norwegian slate. Three Norwegian merchant seamen killed on 2 January 1941 in Cardiff's worst air raid are buried at this site, the headstone for one of which (Ole Toresius Pedersen) is pictured.
