CWGC Tours 2026 - Macclesfield Cemetery

Hear about the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and stories of some of the men and women that are commemorated in this cemetery.
Macclesfield Cemetery is the final resting place of 85 servicemen and women who died in the First and Second World Wars. Amongst the graves are two sisters who tragically died within months of each other. There is also an Australian buried thousands of miles from home and very unusually, a Belgian soldier from the Great War.
