Reichswald Forest war cemetery
« on: Friday 19 September 25 15:47 BST (UK) »
We will soon be visiting Kleve in north-west Germany.  Close to the town is the Reichswald Forest War Cemetery a very large British war cemetery where large numbers of British soldiers and airmen were buried. https://www.liberationroute.com/en/pois/236/kleve-war-cemetery
If you would like us to take a picture of a relative's gravestone there, please give us as much information as you can about the person buried there.  The Commonwealth War Graves Commission can tell you a bit more about many of the soldiers. https://www.cwgc.org/
