Ronse Communal Cemetery
History Information (Source: CWGC)
The British Expeditionary Force was involved in the later stages of the defence of Belgium following the German invasion in May 1940, and suffered many casualties in covering the withdrawal to Dunkirk. Commonwealth forces did not return until September 1944, but in the intervening years, many airmen were shot down or crashed in raids on strategic objectives in Belgium, or while returning from missions over Germany.
Ronse Communal Cemetery contains 18 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, one of which is unidentified. There are also two burials from the First World War in the cemetery. The graves are located in two separate plots.
There is also one US grave, Gilbert Malrait, USAF.
