6. Post Cemetery


The Schofield Barracks post cemetery is one of eleven Army post cemeteries in the United States. Unlike a national cemetery, a post cemetery is solely for the interment of active and retired military members and their dependents. Among them are 19 unidentified World War II remains and in the back left corner are four Italian prisoners-of-war. Additionally, behind the hedge on the left side and buried facing away from the flag are the remains of seven soldiers executed for capital crimes. The cemetery has been considerably reduced in size since the end of World War II as the result of the removal of many veterans to other locations.
