The cemetery contains 990 Commonwealth burials and 232 German graves.[1] HistoryThe majority of the soldiers interred in the cemetery were killed during the breakout battles (such as Operation Bluecoat) fought by the Allies in July and August 1944. Casualties are from the 7th Armoured Division, 49th (West Riding) Infantry Division and 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division as well as a number of Irish Guards officers and servicemen from the Royal Norfolk Regiment. Tilly-sur-Seulles was finally liberated on 18 June 1944 and the first interment in the cemetery was on 8 July 1944. A number of casualties previously in field graves were re-interred in the cemetery.
