The Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery, Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, UK.
The Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery contains nearly 5,000 burials from both the First and Second World War. The burials are mainly German and Austrian nationals with a very small number of Ukrainians. On 16 October 1959, the governments of the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany made an agreement about the future care of the remains of German military personnel and German civilian internees of both world wars which at the time were interred in various cemeteries not already maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It was agreed that the remains would be transferred to a single central cemetery established on Cannock Chase for this purpose. It was was inaugurated and dedicated in June 1967. (Info: Wikipedia)
