Military hospitals were opened in Bradford in both wars and many of the 153 scattered First World War burials in Bradford (Bowling) Cemetery were from the 1,200 bed Bradford War Hospital. The cemetery also contains 106 Second World War burials, mostly scattered, although 23 are grouped together in Section P. A Cross of Sacrifice stands at the junction of two main roads in the cemetery.

Three soldiers who served with the Yorkshire Regiment are buried in this cemetery.
