Description

DescriptionManson Park (19 Cemetery Road, Raceview) was a war cemetery established for American servicemen who were killed in action in Australia or South East Asia during World War II. The first burial was in May 1942. The final number of burials was 1260. The park was named in honour of Rose Manson who cared for the graves during the war. In November 1947, the graves were exhumed and the dead were returned to America.References (offline)Ipswich General Cemetery-History of the cemetery 1842-1979 compiled by Tanya Jen, 2000:123
