The fallen of many nations

At the bottom of Milton Road cemetery is a plaque - part of the Wonders of Weston art programme. The cemetery contains the graves of several other nations: over 100 Belgians fled the horrors of the First World War, and some eventually perished in Weston; in the Second World War, the town was badly hit by the Luftwaffe - but a Heinkel He 111 was shot down on 4th April, 1941, and the crew interred here along with some of their victims.
