Commonwealth war Cemetery, Cannock Chase. Although military cemeteries are common on the continent, Cannock Chase War Cemetery is one of the few dedicated military cemeteries in the United Kingdom. Built and cared for by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), the cemetery was established during the First World War, when a large military camp at Cannock Chase became the base for the New Zealand Rifle Brigade. There was also a prisoner-of-war hospital with 1, 000 beds, and both camp and hospital used the burial ground. The cemetery, which is open all year round, contains 97 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, most of them New Zealanders, and 286 German burials. There are also three burials of the Second World War.
