Becklingen War Cemetery, War cemetery in Bergen, Germany
The Becklingen War Cemetery contains 2,401 graves of Commonwealth soldiers arranged in uniform rows on a gentle slope with white sandstone headstones.
This memorial site was established in 1951 to consolidate various smaller cemeteries within an 80-kilometer radius following World War II operations in northern Germany.
The cemetery holds graves of military personnel from multiple nations, including 2,086 British, 140 Canadian, 79 Australian, and 38 New Zealand service members.
The cemetery remains open to visitors throughout the year, offering information boards and maintaining clear pathways between the precisely arranged grave sections.
Each headstone features detailed inscriptions about the buried soldier, including unit, rank, medals, and personal messages chosen by their relatives.
