CEMETERY (KIRKEGAARD)

Memorial to visit

Forty French prisoners of war from the first world war are buried here. A monument salutes their memory and the inscription on the column states that "Grateful Denmark watches over their grave". Several other Danish cemeteries erected a similar monument to the dead after the First World War.

He and his wife were buried near Dronningmølle.
