27. Airborne Cemetery
The Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery, commonly known as the Airborne Cemetery,
is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in Oosterbeek, near Arnhem, Netherlands.
It was established in 1945 and is home to 1759 graves from the Second World War.
Most of the men buried in the cemetery were Allied servicemen killed in the Battle of Arnhem.
Men killed in these battles are still discovered in the surrounding area even in the 21st century,
and so the number of people interred in the cemetery continues to grow.
