ANNEXE DU CIMETIÈRE COMMUNAL DE BRUAY Pas de Calais, France
Bruay est un grand village du département du Pas-de-Calais à 6 kilomètres au sud-ouest de Béthune et à 26 kilomètres au nord-ouest d'Arras.
Sortez de Bruay par la route N41, en direction nord, vers Berck. Tournez à droite à l'endroit où des panneaux annoncent Lews/Calonne-Ricouart. Parcourez 400 mètres et tournez encore à droite, où un panneau annonce le cimetière à l'ouest. Continuez jusqu'à la colline, en dépassant le monument commémoratif aux mineurs. Le cimetière se trouve du côté droit, à un kilomètre. Le lot du Commonwealth est situé dans le coin droit, au fond du cimetière.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
