It was a temporary cemetery during the war and commonly described as the “aviator’s cemetery” or the “Eighth Air Force Cemetery,” due to the many surrounding airfields. It contains the graves of approximately 4,000 U.S. service members. In addition, more than 5,100 names are also inscribed on its walls of the missing.
