Canadian war cemeteries

Summary

Canadian war cemeteries are sites for the burial of Canadian military personnel who died in conflicts since Canadian Confederation in 1867. Most of the graves are for the dead in the First and Second World Wars. But, some are for conflicts since 1945.

Burial of Private Robert Whitehead (1896-1916), Canadian Infantry, Canadian Expeditionary Force, 95th Battalion, at Shorncliffe Military Cemetery

Most are found abroad—mainly in Europe—and a few are within Canada. The majority are public cemeteries and many are shared with other countries, some with the Commonwealth of Nations, usually administered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
