Commonwealth War Graves Les Moeres

Les Moeres was the northern point of a line held by British units on May 31st, 1940 and was the scene of heavy fighting during the retreat to Dunkirk. The British casualties buried here were all killed in the defence of the village at this time.

There are now nearly 70, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated on Les Moeres Communal Cemetery. Of these, almost 30 are unidentified and three of them, whose graves in the cemetery could not be precisely located, are commemorated by special memorials inscribed "Buried near this spot".
