Celle, Niedersachsen
The cemetery is located in the town of Celle, 40 kilometres north-east of Hannover, along the route 3 in the direction of Soltau.
From Hannover follow the signs to Celle and continue through the town centre on the route 3, direction Soltau. On the northern outskirts of the town the road is called Harburgerstrasse and on the left hand side of this road, before a large junction with traffic lights, there is a sign pointing to the cemetery. Turn right into Im Rolande and the cemetery is at the end of this road on the left.
Celle War Cemetery was the hospital cemetery of the 64th British Military Hospital and those buried here were mainly servicemen who died of wounds sustained during the last month or so of the war.
The cemetery contains 206 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War and three Polish war graves.
