The Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery is the largest German military cemetery in the United Kingdom.

The Cemetery contains the graves of nearly 5,000 German nationals who lost their lives in the UK during the First and Second World Wars. The fallen were gathered from cemeteries across the UK in the 1960s, and include the crews from four Zeppelin airships.

The grounds of the Cemetery are exceptionally well maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The Cemetery is tranquil and thought-provoking and is well worth a visit. There are also informative guided tours that explain who is buried and that recount the stories of individual notable graves.
