The Graves
The cemetery of Nieuw Dordrecht, Drenthe, in the Netherlands, is home to 24 Commonwealth wargraves of fallen R.A.F. crewmembers. At first there were 28 graves but since 4 of them were of American citizens, these remains were transferred to the American cemetery in Margraten in the south of the province of Limburg. Find here all details known to us of these young men.
