Hanover War Cemetery lies at Seelze-Harenberg, on the western side of Hanover in Lower Saxony. Many of its graves were moved here from prisoner of war camp cemeteries, small German burial grounds and isolated sites in the surrounding countryside. Designed by Philip Hepworth, it holds 2,407 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 62 of them unidentified. It stands next to the post-war Hanover Military Cemetery.
