The cemetery is on the west side of Wong Nei Chong Road, on the corner of Hau Tak Lane, opposite the northern end of the Happy Valley Racecourse.

Throughout the First World War, Hong Kong was garrisoned by local defense and Commonwealth forces, including units of Indian infantry who were of the Muslim faith.

During the Second World War, Hong Kong fell to Japanese forces on Christmas Day 1941 following a brief but intense period of fighting. Most of those buried or commemorated on the island were killed at this time, or died later as internees or prisoners of war during the Japanese occupation.

This civil cemetery now contains 6 First World War burials and 19 from the Second World War, 1 being unidentified. There is also 1 non World War service burial.

This Cemetery opened in 1870 and is operated by the Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong.
