Impressive and very tidy, well maintained cemetery with mostly Commonwealth soldiers' graves. The main entrance is on a side road, not well traveled, so the entrance is rather nondescript. Open every day, no entrance fee.

As always, Commonwealth War Graves sites are meticulous, but hauntingly beautiful places. Through the inscriptions of loved ones on the headstones, the dead reach out and challenging us to reconcile the pain of loss, with the joy of living, and to embrace our lives, and those that we love, in such a way that was denied them. Take the time to read a random few, and reflect on the anguish of the author, sometimes expressed in stark simplicity, sometimes in most eloquent poetry, sometimes through words laden with sadness and pain, sometimes through words celebrating the life that was. Take pause at the grave of an unknown soldier, no less a mother's lost son, a child's lost father, loved and remembered. The world that they paid for is slow to arrive, but each tear shed in rememberance diminishes the gap. Lest we forget.
