First established on 7 December 1943 the University of Cambridge donated 30.5 acres of land for a permanent American Military Cemetery. The land was chosen not only for its scenic grandeur, but also because a large proportion of American casualties occurred in this general area of East Anglia. The cemetery was dedicated on 16 July 1956.
