Commonwealth War Cemetery Hottot-les-Bagues

The Allied offensive in north-western Europe began with the Normandy landings of 6 June 1944.

Most of the burials in Hottot-les-Bagues War Cemetery were brought in from the surrounding district, where there was much heavy fighting through June and July 1944 as Commonwealth forces tried to press on from Bayeux in an encircling movement to the south of Caen.

The cemetery contains 1,005 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 56 of them unidentified and 132 German graves.
