The entrance to the cemetery is marked by a monumental gate in
Korean style. Each of the
graves is provided with a
bronze bust. At the far end of the memorial there is a conspicuous red flag made of granite. Heo-nik Kwon and Byung-Ho Chung (2012) covered the cemetery in their publication
North Korea: Beyond Charismatic Politics, noting the cemetery's significance in politics, where it can not only satisfy the North Korean need for revolutionary narratives, but also compensate for its large-scale absence of ordinary military cemeteries.
