Well worth visiting this WW1 memorial.. it is only about 10 minutes walk from main square. Apart from all the graves of the commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives there are also some German prisoner of war graves...

Reviewed By 969shonam - South Harting, United Kingdom

Beautifully kept memorial, as are all the Commonwealth War Graves Commission sites. This can easily go unnoticed, so glad I’d researched first and found it. One is compelled to stop.

Les Baraques Military Cemetery

Reviewed By 781lens - Sheffield, United Kingdom

As with all military cemeteries, very thought provoking. Thank you to the Commonwealth War Graces Commission in every location that they work. Always very respectfully tendered by the local workers. One comment - I dislike having to rate a cemetery, but one has to in order to put a comment so I do understand the need.
