Commonwealth War Cemetery Uden

Uden was occupied by the Germans until the liberation in September 1944. During the war years the fallen Allied soldiers were temporarily buried in the garden of the pastor at the Roman Catholic cemetery. In 1943, the old part of the cemetery, which has not been used since 1918, became the final resting place for these allied soldiers. After the war, more than 100 graves were taken from the pastor's garden to this place, along with other temporary graves from that region. Uden War Cemetery now contains 701 Commonwealth graves of the Second World War, four of which are unknown. In addition, two Polish soldiers are also buried.
