​​The earliest burial is from 1 September 1941, Sergeant Harold Taylor from the province of Quebec. He was a crew member on a Handley Page that failed to return from a raid. He served in No.44 Squadron, Royal Air Force which had the third largest losses of crew in the RAF by the end of the war.

​Twelve of the burials are casualties from Operation Jubilee which took place on 19 August 1942 at Dieppe, France.

​Nine of the burials are from men who died after the end of the Second World War. Sapper Paul Bernier from Edmonton, Alberta died on 14 May 1945 following an injury. Those who died after the end of the war may have died due to illness, wounds or accidents. The final burial is that of Warrant Officer Armand Isaak-Derk from Manitoba who died on 17 October 1945.

​Most of the burials within the cemetery are dated from September to October 1944. During this period the Canadian forces had persued the German forces through France and into Belgium. The battles included the coastal ports such as Boulogne, Calais and Dunkirk. This then continued with the battle of the Scheldt, in Belgium and the Netherlands.

​During this period also, the first Canadian catholic priest was killed in action on 14 September 1944. Honorary Captain Reverend Thomas Mooney was assisting with the dying and wounded soldiers at an advance dressing station that was hit by German artillery. He is buried in Plot X, Row A, Grave 8.

​A young and promising Canadian officer from Montreal who was awarded a Distinguished Service Order during the battle of Falaise is also buried here. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Lewis was noted by superiors to have undoubtedly proven to be one of Canada’s foremost military leaders. On 17 October 1944, whilst serving in the 7th Reconnaissance Regiment, he was killed by shrapnel when his vehicle was hit by shell fire. His driver was wounded and captured by German forces, then laterreleased as they withdrew from the area. Lieutenant Lewis is buried in Plot IX, Row D, Grave 11.
