Cemetery Information

The village of Hotton was the western limit of Von Rundstedt's Ardennes offensive in January 1945, and a great many of the burials in the cemetery date from that time, although there are also some men who fell in May 1940 whose graves were moved here after WW2. The cemetery contains 666 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 21 of them unidentified.

WW2 Graves

The graves here are largely from the fighting in the Ardennes involving British units in December 1944 and January 1945.
