An example of an early burial of soldier's family at the Stanley Military Cemetery
Grave of one Mary Williamson, who died in the Stanley Camp and a cenopath memorial for her grandson, Lance Corporal Douglas H. Collins-Taylor of Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corp., who was killed in action at Stanley Village. That grave has given some hints of the final stage of the 1941 defence.

Stanley Military Cemetery is a cemetery located near St. Stephen's Beach in Stanley, Hong Kong. Along with the larger Hong Kong (Happy Valley) Cemetery, it is one of two military cemeteries of the early colonial era, used for the burials of the members of the garrison and their families between 1841 and 1866. There were no further burials here until World War II (1939–1945).

The cemetery is roughly triangular in shape and stands on ground rising sharply from the road side. It is approached by a flight of steps leading up to the Cross of Sacrifice with steep grassy slopes on either side.
