  Three and a half thousand military personnel and a few civilians are buried here in this cemetry from WWII. Another five thousand are reported as missing. This whole site is dedicated to the memory of these service personnel from rows A to G. The Memorial building is huge and is very carefully inscribed. There is a chime that rings out on the hour in a military tune. You have a sense of reverant respect as you walk around these grounds. Many of these personnel fought from UK bases. The whole area is very well maintained. It has very tidy walkways. There is no litter anywhere. You really need to come and visit as this review cannot do this cemetry justice as it has to be seen and experienced first hand. There is also a visitors centre left of the main entrance. Inside the Memorial building is a chapel where the public are permitted to enter and reflect, closing behind the them the cordon rope.

  Impressive and immaculately maintained. Visitor centre has some interesting information and a good introductory video. The map in the chapel wall is huge and fascinating covering North America, up to Scandinavia, across to Turkey, down to North Africa with Europe in the middle. Can sit there for an hour admiring the map.
  
  All very tastefully done matching the solemnity of the cemeteries in northern France.
