The cemetery contains 1,005 commonwealth war graves and 132 German war graves. From wikipedia: The majority of the soldiers interred in the cemetery were killed in late June and July 1944 as the Allies pushed south of Bayeux and then south-west to encircle Caen. Many casualties were involved in fighting around Tilly-sur-Seulles. Two brigadiers are interred in the cemetery; John Roland Mackintosh-Walker of the Seaforth Highlanders and James Hargest from the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. Casualties not just from the battles to encircle Caen, but from Operation Bluecoat. There are 24 Scots Guards (3rd Battalion) buried within, most lost their lives on hill 226 (now renumbered 232) near Les Loges on the push south from Caumont. These soldiers were in a tank battalion, part of the 6th Guards tank Brigade. Using Churchill & Stuart tanks.
