Although there was little actual fighting in Bayeux, it was the first french town of importance to be liberated. Completed in 1953,  Bayeux War Cemetery contains burials brought in from the surrounding areas, and from nearby hospitals that treated the wounded. As such it is the largest Commonwealth Cemetery of WW2 in France. There are 4144 Commonwelath burials, of which 338 are unidentified.  There are also over 500 war graves of other nationalities, mainly German. 

Opposite the cemetery stands the Bayeux Memorial, which bears over 1,800 names of men of the Commonwealth land forces*  who died and who have no known grave. They died in the Normandy campaign from the D-Day landings on 6th June 1944 and including the advance to the River Seine in August 1944.
