Cemetery Location

From Bayeux take the D6 south-east towards Tilly-sur-Seulles. The cemetery will be found after about 8 kilometres on the left hand side of the road at the bottom of a down hill stretch. You can park close to the entrance.

Cemetery Information

This is the smallest War Cemetery in Normandy, and one of the smallest from WW2 in North-West Europe. It was started in June 1944, while fighting was taking place in the area around Tilly-sur-Seulles. The nearby farm buildings were used as an Advanced Dressing Station by the RAMC, and several of those buried here died of wounds in the farm. As the fighting moved into the Bocage beyond Tilly the cemetery was no longer used, and there were no post-war reburials here.

WW2 Graves

The graves here are from fighting in the locality at places like Tilly-sur-Seulles and Lingevres.
