Dieppe Canadian War Cemetery, Hautot-Sur-Mer [Statistics]

The cemetery was easy to find with GPS. Parking is on the side of the road, which was surprisingly busy. This was the first Commonwealth all-new cemetery built after WW2. Well kept, it sits amongst farmland; cows were grazing in the fields next to it. The cemetery houses many of the man killed in the disastrous August 19, 1942 raid on Dieppe. Perhaps it is climate related, there weren't as many roses as green shrubbery, which in truth, makes it easier to see the gravestones.
