The Brittany American Cemetery and Memorial consists of about 28 acres a few miles east of the St. James commune in the Manche department in Normandy in north-western France. According to the U.S. American Battle Monuments Commission, Brittany American Cemetery contains the remains of 4,409 of our fallen warriors, most of whom lost their lives in the Normandy and Brittany Campaigns of 1944.
The cemetery is located on the site of the temporary American St. James Cemetery, established on August 4, 1944 by the U.S. Third Army and is currently maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) which was created by the U.S. Congress in 1923. The ABMC maintains 26 permanent American military cemeteries and 30 federal memorials, monuments and markers around the world.
