Étaples Military Cemetery, France, is the largest Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in France. It contains the graves of more than 11,000 soldiers from different countries who died during the First and Second World Wars. You can learn about the history of the cemetery and the stories of some of the people buried there by reading the information boards at the entrance and along the paths. The cemetery is located near the coast, allowing you to enjoy the view of Canche Bay and the cool breeze. The cemetery is open daily from dawn to dusk and entry is free.

Étaples Military Cemetery is a British military cemetery mainly containing war dead from the First World War, located in the French town of Étaples, Pas-de-Calais department (Hauts-de-France region). The cemetery is located about two kilometers north of the center of Étaples, along the road to Boulogne-sur-Mer, east of the Bay of Canche. The entrance is located on the south-west side, overlooking the cemetery. The entrance runs between two columns to the Cross of Sacrifice. Behind it stands the Stone of Remembrance, flanked by two monumental gatehouses. This cemetery was designed by Edwin Lutyens and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
It is the largest military Commonwealth cemetery in France with more than 11,500 dead. Commonwealth casualties include 8,819 British, 1,145 Canadians, 464 Australians, 260 New Zealanders, 68 South Africans, 17 Indians and 1 Chinese who served in the Chinese Labor Corps.
