 The headstones have been placed back-to-back in long double rows, typical of German burials but unlike any other Commonwealth war cemetery.When Dieppe was liberated in 1944, the Allies elected not to disturb the graves, so this unusual arrangement remains.The post-war design was by Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) architect Philip Hepworth and the cemetery in France was the first CGWC cemetery to be completed in 1949.
