PRAGUE WAR CEMETERY, Czech Republic
Location:
Prague War Cemetery is, in fact, a British plot adjoining a boundary wall on the north side of the Civil Cemetery of Olsany. Olsany is on the eastern outskirts of Prague about 3 kilometres from the centre of the city on the main road from Prague to Strasnice, which runs due east from Wenceslas Square. The approach to the War Cemetery is the first turning left from the main road past the entrance gates of the Civil Cemetery.
Historical Information:
Graves were brought into this cemetery from 73 small cemeteries scattered all over the Czech Republic. Many of those buried here died as Prisoners of War. The construction of this cemetery was carried out by the Czechoslovak Government, to plans provided by the Imperial War Graves Commission, under the terms of the War Graves Agreement of 3rd March, 1949.
