England
The only American World War I cemetery in the British Isles
Brookwood American Cemetery, in Surrey southwest of London, is the only American military cemetery from World War I in the British Isles. It holds the graves of 468 Americans, many of whom died of illness, including the 1918 influenza pandemic, or were lost at sea, and the chapel walls record the names of 563 missing. The cemetery lies within the larger Brookwood Cemetery, next to military cemeteries of Commonwealth nations. Brookwood American Cemetery and Chapel symbolize the relationship between the people of the United Kingdom and the United States that developed during and after the First World War.
