I started the WW2 Cemeteries website in an attempt to record all the British and Commonwealth War Cemeteries across the world, and not only provide information on their history, location and who is buried there, but use the pages of the site to memorialise those commemorated in this Silent Cities of the dead.

  While some of the information recorded here is already available on-line at he Commonwealth War Graves Commission site, it is not presented in the same user friendly fashion, and doesn't include the range of images this site will eventually contain.

  While all of the research and many of the photographs were taken on some of my numerous trips to the battlefields of WW2 (myself, left, shown in Normandy, researching visits around Bayeux in August 2006), I am grateful to the many people who have offered help, photographs and encouragement: they are all listed below.

The Second World War is a legacy we all share, and it is important we remember the sacrifice of the service men and women buried in the Cemeteries of WW2.

Thanks To:

Gary Cooper, Barry Cuttell, Owen Dadge, Jean Michel Dominique (Brussells), Wayne Saillard, Wendy Snowdon, and the members of World War 2 Talk.
