accident just after the war. The cemetery has become a place of pilgrimage and homage, and is immaculately maintained by members of the American Battle Monuments' Commission. Not far away, at the village of Sandwieler, is a German war cemetery with some 10,000 graves. There are 101 graves of unknown soldiers and airmen, and 22 pairs of brothers buried side by side. The identical graves are arranged without regard to rank, religion, race, or place of origin with the exception of the grave of General George Patton. The German Military Cemetery lies a mile away. To get to the US Cemetery take bus no.5 from the Gare Centrale. If driving take the Boulevard General Patton East which becomes the E42 as you leave town.
