The Commonwealth War Graves Commission description[1] is:

From December 1914 to September 1917, the hospital at nearby Taplow was the Duchess of Connaught Canadian Red Cross Hospital, and then until September 1919, No. 15 Canadian General Hospital. Most of the 40 First World War burials, the majority of them Canadian, are associated with the hospital. The cemetery also contains two Second World War graves and two American War Graves from the First World War.
No. of Identified Casualties: 45

A marble flagstone near the memorial at the far end states:

THE CANADIAN RED CROSS
ERECTED THIS MEMORIAL TO
THE MEMORY OF THE MEN
WHO FOUGHT IN FRANCE
AND DIED AT CLIVEDEN

The inscription below the statue to the right states:

THEY
ARE AT PEACE
GOD
PROVED THEM
AND FOUND THEM
WORTHY FOR
HIMSELF
