Very peaceful place, very thought provoking
David Hawes (10/31/2017)
Sad to see so many young men laying there.

Valkenswaard is located 9 kilometers from the Dutch-Belgian border on the main road from Eindhoven to Hasselt in Belgium. The war cemetery is 4 kilometers south of Valkenswaard. From the market square Valkenswaard, visitors can follow the traffic signs to Hasselt (N69), and the war cemetery is on the right-hand side of the main road. Valkenswaard was the first village to be liberated in September 1944 by the British army at Operation Market Garden. The military cemetery, which lies in the forests south of Valkenswaard, contains 220 graves, almost all men buried here, have fallen in fierce fighting around the forests of Valkenswaard during the month of September. All men buried here belong to the army of England.

Very well-kept and intimate cemetery in the pine forests with 220 British casualties. Register and guestbook in the safe in the building. Placard explaining the course of the liberation from Normandy to Berlin in English and Dutch. Small parking on either side of the main road.
