}}Hottot-les-Bagues War Cemetery is a British Second World War cemetery of Commonwealth soldiers in France, located 15 km south-west of Bayeux, Normandy. The cemetery contains 1,005 commonwealth war graves and 132 German war graves.[1]

History

The majority of the soldiers interred in the cemetery were killed in late June and July 1944 as the Allies pushed south of Bayeux and then south-west to encircle Caen. Many casualties were involved in fighting around Tilly-sur-Seulles.

Two brigadiers are interred in the cemetery; John Roland Mackintosh-Walker of the Seaforth Highlanders and James Hargest from the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment.

Location

The cemetery is 14 km south-east of Bayeux, between Hottot-les-Bagues and Juvigny-sur-Seulles on the D.9 road.
