The Netherlands fell to the Germans in May 1940 and was not re-entered by Allied forces until September 1944. With a few exeptions, burials at Milsbeek War Cemetery date from February and March 1945, the days of the advance into Germany. They include men from the 51st (Highland) Division, the 52nd (Lowland) Division, and the 3rd Battalion Irish Guards.

The cemetery contains 210 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War.
