More from the Canadian and British War Cemeteries in Bergen Op Zoom. In the Commonwealth cemetery are some graves of other nationalities that fought in the region's battles under British command, like these Czech soldiers.

Do you have any idea how many soldiers have been killed and buried there? Always impressive.
