Heverlee War Cemetery

This is the British military cemetery (Heverlee War Cemetery). It is located next to the municipal cemetery of Heverlee. After the liberation of the Leuven region in September 1944, the '101st British General Hospital' was established in the nearby girls' school of Heverlee. Those who did not survive the hospital were buried in a temporary cemetery. From July 1946, Heverlee War Cemetery was constructed as a collective cemetery for the dead from the temporary cemetery at the hospital, but also for the dead from numerous other cemeteries in the wider area. The cemetery was designed by Philip Hepworth. The cemetery now contains 989 dead from the Second World War. In addition, there are also 29 identified dead from the First World War (plot 11), from about 10 smaller cemeteries where the preservation of their graves could no longer be guaranteed.

Allerheigen, many English-speaking visitors, 80 years after the facts... It brings you to your senses.
The discolored American Oak provides the appropriate tribute.
