Lake Alice Psychiatric Hospital was on the outskirts of Marton and operated from 1950 until 1999. Some veterans who suffered from ‘shell shock’ had been admitted for treatment to Lake Alice, sometimes without relatives knowing. A number of them died while at Lake Alice and they were usually buried in Mount View Cemetery. The 31 graves listed below were identified by Marton RSA life member Barry Rankin.

As of January 2023, the Marton RSA would like to hear from anyone who may have had a relative or knows of a serviceman who was at Lake Alice Hospital.
