Niederzwehren British Military Cemetery is approximately six miles south of Kassel and one hundred miles east of Cologne (Koln). There is a Russian war cemetery adjacent to it. The cemetery was created by the Germans about March 1915 and during the course of the war almost 3,000 Allied soldiers and civilians were buried there. The majority were French (1,280) and Russians (1,068), British graves numbering 272. In 1922 the cemetery was chosen as one of the four permanent cemeteries to which the British dead in Germany should be gathered, and during the following four years 1,535 graves were brought in from 190 different cemeteries. |
