Commonwealth War Cemetery Saint-Charles-de-Percy

St Charles de Percy War Cemetery is the southernmost of the Normandy cemeteries. The majority of those buried here died in late July and early August 1944 in the major thrust made from Caumont l'Evente towards Vire, to drive a wedge between the German 7th Army and Panzer Group West.

The cemetery contains 809 Second World War burials.
