war cemetery
Fallen soldiers' ground
A war cemetery is a burial ground specifically for military personnel killed in combat, typically maintained by national or international agencies.
Unlike general cemeteries with scattered veterans' graves, war cemeteries concentrate casualties from particular conflicts: The American war cemetery at Normandy holds nearly 10,000 graves.
They often feature uniform headstones and memorial architecture.
