The Dieppe Canadian Cemetery
Transcript
Dieppe Canadian War Cemetery, designed by Philip Hepworth, was the first new cemetery of the Second World War to be completed in 1949. The back-to-back configuration is unlike any other Commonwealth war cemetery. When Dieppe was retaken in 1944, the Allies chose to keep the configuration, which is typical of German burial sites.
