At the Anglican section of the cemetery near the grave of Sgt Smith.

An upright white headstone-style marker with Sgt Smith’s name and rank engraved inside a shield depiction. On the lower part of the stone is a metal plaque mounted which also serves as a memorial commemorating the 467 American WWII military personnel that were buried in the cemetery between 1942 - 1947. 

The headstone is supported by a stone block as a base. Col. Ike Austin, "champion rifle shot of the world," astonished Australian audiences in the 1880s with his William Tell act, shooting apples off his wife's head and potatoes out of her mouth. Then his aim got shaky and his wife walked out. He fell into poverty and died and was buried in an unmarked grave. Roy Parker, a retired U.S. Air Force major, and colleagues in the private American Civil War Research Group found his unmarked grave in a Sydney cemetery under his true name, Isaac Putnam Smith. They honored him with a headstone supplied by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
