Dieppe Canadian Cemetery

A total of 944 Allied soldiers are buried in this cemetery(761 identified), including 707 Canadians. Other soldiers killed during the Dieppe landing are buried in Rouen, where the Nazi soldiers had taken the prisoners and where some died of their wounds. Others (wounded from the re-embarkation) are buried at Brookwood Cemetery (England). Also buried in this cemetery are the remains of a British woman, Mary Janet Climpson, a Salvation Army officer killed in 1940, and that of pilot Dastur Rustom Nariman of the Royal Indian Air Force (12th Sqdn.), killed over Normandy on August 31, 1941 at the age of 22. This is the only Allied cemetery to have been created by German soldiers, as the Allies retreated leaving the bodies of their soldiers behind. The headstones were placed back-to-back in long double rows, which is typical of German cemeteries but unusual in Commonwealth cemeteries. When Dieppe was retaken in 1944, the Allies did not alter the graves.
Renovated in 1949, the cemetery is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Source Wikipedia
