Burial Information:
Cemetery:
BRETTEVILLE-SUR-LAIZE CANADIAN WAR CEMETERY
Calvados, France
Grave Reference: XVII. D. 4.
Location: This cemetery lies on the west side of the main road from Caen to
Falaise (route N158) about 14 kilometres south of Caen and just north of the
village of Cintheaux. BRETTEVILLE-SUR-LAIZE is a village and commune in the
department of the Calvados, some 16 kilometres south of Caen and just north
of the village of Cintheaux. The village of Bretteville lies 3 kilometres
south-west of the Cemetery. Buried here are those who died during the later
stages of the battle of Normandy, the capture of Caen and the thrust
southwards (led initially by the 4th Canadian and 1st Polish Armoured
Divisions), to close the Falaise Gap, and thus seal off the German divisions
fighting desperately to escape being trapped west of the Seine. Almost every
unit of Canadian 2nd Corps is represented in the Cemetery. There are about
3,000, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site, of which 2,872 are
Canadian, 80 British, 4 Australian, 1 New Zealand and 1 French.
