About this cemetery
Guards' Grave at Villers-Cotterêts began as a collective grave. Four officers were first buried in the town cemetery, and the burials were later brought together here. The Irish Guards gave the site nearly its present form. It holds 73 identified and 20 unidentified burials, and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission recognises three plots, the first of which is the Collective Grave.
