The largest Commonwealth World War II cemetery in France, located on the southwestern outskirts of Bayeux. Contains 4,144 Commonwealth graves and 505 war graves of other nationalities, with white Portland stone headstones arranged across 27 plots. The cemetery was established in July 1944, shortly after D-Day, when Bayeux became the first French town of importance liberated by Allied forces.

The Bayeux Memorial bears a Latin inscription: 'NOS A GULIELMO VICTI VICTORIS PATRIAM LIBERAVIMUS' meaning 'We, once conquered by William, have now set free the Conqueror's native land.' This links the 1066 Norman Conquest of England with the 1944 British liberation of Normandy.
