METZ CEMETERY Moselle, France
There were several burials of Canadians at a Metz cemetery called Cimetière de l'Est. As the Headquarters location of the 1 Canadian Air Division, many service members and their families lived in and around the City of Metz. Over time, however, the graves were lost.
Canada negotiated with the City of Metz to install a Memorial Cairn in the Cimetière de l'Est and to provide for its maintenance for the next 50 years.
The names of the children who were buried in the cemetery as well as others whose graves were lost elsewhere, were inscribed on the Memorial Cairn. A dedication ceremony was held in 2003.
