Jerusalem War Cemetery, Chouain

Jerusalem War Cemetery is one of the smallest Second World War cemetery of Commonwealth soldiers in Normandy, France.

It is located between Bayeux and Tilly-sur-Seulles, close to the commune of Chouain.

[1] The majority of the soldiers interred in the cemetery were killed in June and July 1944 as the Allies pushed south of Bayeux and then south-west to encircle Caen.

The graveyard has two chaplains interred in it; Reverend Cecil James Hawksworth and Reverend Gerard Nesbit and the grave of the youngest British soldier killed in Normandy, 16-year-old Private Jack Banks of the Durham Light Infantry.

The cemetery is on the D.6, 9 kilometres south-east of Bayeux, close to the commune of Choain.
