CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE BRETTEVILLE-SUR-LAIZE Calvados, France
Le cimetière se trouve du côté ouest de la route principale entre Caen et Falaise (N158) au nord du village de Cintheaux. Bretteville-sur-Laize, village et commune du Calvados, est à environ 16 km au sud de Caen. Le village de Bretteville est à 3 km au sud-ouest du cimetière. Les personnes inhumées ici sont mortes au cours des derniers assauts en Normandie, de la capture de Caen et de l'offensive vers le sud (menée d'abord par la 4e Division blindée canadienne et la 1re Division blindée polonaise) en vue de fermer la trouée de Falaise et d'encercler ainsi les divisions allemandes qui menaient une lutte désespérée pour éviter d'être coincées à l'ouest de la Seine. La plupart des unités du 2e Corps d'armée canadien sont représentées dans le cimetière. Environ 3000 victimes de la guerre de 1939-1945 sont commémorées ici.
