The Cambridge American Military Cemetery is one of 13 American World War II military cemetery memorials erected on foreign soil by the American Battle Monuments Commission and the largest American military cemetery in the United Kingdom. It was established as a temporary military cemetery in 1943 on land donated by the University of Cambridge. The site was later selected as the only permanent American World War II military cemetery in the British Isles and was dedicated July 16, 1956. A large number of the 3,812 American servicemen and women interred there were aircrew of British-based American aircraft. Most of the others were killed in the invasions of North Africa and France, in the training areas of the United Kingdom and in the waters of the Atlantic.
