Brussels Town Cemetery, Belgium [Statistics]

The cemetery is completely enclosed by the Brussels Town Cemetery, which is located in Evere, a region within Northern Brussels, between the airport and Brussels old town. It isn't the easiest place to get to via public transport. Once you get there, go through the main entrance and walk straight back until you see the Cross of Sacrifice on your left - it's a bit of a hike. The cemetery is quite beautiful. Unfortunately, as of 2026, many of the Canadian WW1 tombstones are weathered to the point of being unreadable.
