Description

Zantvoorde British Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of the First World War located in the Ypres Salient in Belgium on the Western Front. It also contains the remains of a British airman killed during the Second World War.

During the early stages of the First World War, the village of Zandvoorde, now known as Zantvoorde, and surrounding area was the scene of severe fighting. The village itself was defended by the Life Guards. The German forces captured it in late 30 October 1914 and buried the 350-odd British who had been killed there. The area remained under German control until late September 1918.
