TILBURG (GILZERBAAN) GENERAL CEMETERY Netherlands

Tilburg is a town lying close to the Dutch-Belgian border. It is 20 kilometres east of Breda, about the same distance south of 's-Hertogenbosch, and 30 kilometres north-north-east of the Belgian town of Turnhout. The TILBURG (GILZERBAAN) GENERAL CEMETERY is about 4 kilometres from the town centre, at the northern end of the Gilzerbaan, which is the by-pass skirting the town. It is in a little lane leading off this road. The 1939-45 war graves are near the entrance gates.
