Default German War Cemetery
I stopped at the cemetery today to take some pics, the visitor section was shut but i managed to get a few shots.
There was a large POW camp on the A34 between Stafford and Cannock during WWII full of captured Germans that were transported into the countryside `for safe keeping` The ones that didnt make it were all buried together on Cannock Chase .
There is also a plot with New Zealanders and Australians from the ANZAC forces
