Ohlsdorf Cemetery, Commonwealth Plots, Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery sector in Ohlsdorf Cemetery, Hamburg, Germany.

The Commonwealth Plots contain 2,565 military graves arranged in uniform rows with white limestone headstones displaying military emblems and personal information.

The cemetery section began during World War I with 300 Allied prisoners of war, expanding after 1923 when the Commission centralized Commonwealth military burials.

Regular memorial services at the Commonwealth Plots bring together representatives from different nations to honor military personnel from both World Wars.

The Commonwealth Plots are situated near Chapel 12 within Ohlsdorf Cemetery, featuring a Hall of Remembrance and two visitor pavilions with guest books.

Lieutenant-Colonel Neville Elliott-Cooper VC DSO MC and Squadron Leader John Shepherd, notable military figures, rest among the 1,889 World War II graves.
