Canadian War Cemeteries
Canadian war cemeteries are sites for burial for Canadian military personnel for conflicts since 1867. Most of the graves are for the dead in World War I and World War II, but some are for conflicts since 1945. Most are found abroad (mainly in Europe) and a few within Canada.
