About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The village of Nederweert lies in the south of the Netherlands, approx 30kms to the south east of Eindhoven. From the A2 motorway Eindhoven to Maastricht take exit 39 (Afrit 39) N275 NEDERWEERT and follow the signs for NEDERWEERT. Continue for approx 1.5kms and turn left onto the N266 direction HELMOND. Continue for approx 1km and turn left (CWGC sign) onto MONSEIGNEUR KREYELMANSSTRAAT. The cemetery can be found after 200m on the right.

Nederweert was liberated by British troops on 21st September, 1944. The front line until 14th November was close by, following the Zuidwillemsvaart and Wessem-Nederweert canals; during that period there were casualties from patrol activity and from daily German shelling of Nederweert, besides some deaths in German minefields. After the British crossed the canals and went on towards the Maas, burials continued in the war cemetery from the surrounding area. There are now over 350 1939-1945 War casualties commemorated in this site.
