Enghien (Edingen) Communal Cemetery

History Information (Source: CWGC)

The British Expeditionary Force was involved in the later stages of the defence of Belgium following the German invasion in May 1940, and suffered many casualties in covering the withdrawal to Dunkirk. Commonwealth forces did not return until September 1944, but in the intervening years, many airmen were shot down or crashed in raids on strategic objectives in Belgium, or while returning from missions over Germany. Enghien Communal Cemetery contains 13 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. There is also a small plot containing five First World War burials.

The graves are located through the main entrance and then to the right.
