Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial (Dutch: Amerikaanse Begraafplaats Margraten) is a Second World War military war grave cemetery, located in the village of Margraten, 10 km (6.2 mi) east of Maastricht, in the most southern part of the Netherlands. The cemetery, the only American one in the Netherlands and dedicated in 1960, contains a constantly varying number above 8,000 [1] American war dead and covers 65.5 acres (26.5 ha). It is administered by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC).[2]
^The number varies due to an ongoing program of disinterments and reinterments related to attempts to identify unknowns across all WW II ABMC sites - Williams Shanes, Deputy Director ABMC
