Dazscuba Posted 3 November , 2019 Share Posted 3 November , 2019 I was asked the question last night but not sure of the answer from WW1 is there any German graves in the UK and if so where? i know that there are a large number from WW2 but never seen any from the First W War.

GraemeClarke Posted 3 November , 2019 Share Posted 3 November , 2019 (edited) Hi Cannock Chase There are 2 cemeteries; Cannock Chase War Cemetery https://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/2000401/cannock-chase-war-cemetery/ and Cannock Chase German MilitaryCemetery https://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/4007266/cannock-chase-german-military-cemetery/ Netley https://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/39250/netley-military-cemetery/ In fact, use the CWGC site filters https://www.cwgc.org/find/find-war-dead/results?war=1&tab=wardead&fq_servedwithliteral=German&fq_warliteral=1&fq_country=United+Kingdom If you use the filters you can find the WW1 German and Austrian burials.

Phil Evans Posted 2 December , 2019 Share Posted 2 December , 2019 Then there are those that couldn't be moved to Cannock and were quietly forgotten, such as those in Greenwich Cemetery Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelS Posted 4 December , 2019 Share Posted 4 December , 2019 There are the seven buried in the Brookwood Military Cemetery https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/268257-german-burials-and-graves/?do=findComment&comment=2719385 . Then there's the mystery of those that may or may not have been buried in, or subsequently moved from, the churchyard at Monkton Tarrant https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/156794-unnamed-german-graves/?do=findComment&comment=1513250 NigelS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
