This cemetery was created for the approximately 800 soldiers from the British Commonwealth who died during the advance to Arnhem (Operation Market Garden). The cemetery contains the gravestone of the British Major Lord Robert Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington, who died in Heppen during the liberation battles and was the husband of Kathleen Kennedy, sister of former President John F. Kennedy. The cemetery also contains the graves of two recipients of the highest British military award, the Victoria Cross. This cemetery was created in 1948 and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
