This cemetery surprised me, because unlike other Commonwealth cemeteries I have visited so far, there was a significant group of "civilians" buried here, including the graves of children (apparently deceased at or shortly after birth), as well as quite a lot of airmen from the post-war era, from the 1950s-1960s, see the gravestones. I don't have more information on this yet, but I was surprised that they are not British, but often Canadians, Australians (which I would understand during the war, but I didn't know they served in France after WWII) and at a very young age. Any more information would be appreciated. Near the cemetery there is an airbase and finally the cemetery itself is adjacent to a military area, near the parking lot of some logistics or repair unit.
