Ysselsteyn War Cemetery
The reburials at Ysselsteyn most of the time took place per cemetery. The platoons tasked with the reburials moved from one cemetery to another, not necessarily in one city at the same time. For instance Utrecht:
1) Tolsteeg Cemetery in Utrecht (former "Heldenfriedhof"):
Reburials in January 1948 540 dead were reburied in:
BX-1 to 230
BY-1 to 225
CB-226 to 300
CC-226/233/251/254
2) Fieldgrave at Fort Blauwkapel.
Reburied in September 1949 to BR-12-287
3) General Cemetery at Soestbergen.
The dead at this cemetery either committed suicide or were executed. For this reason they were not buried at the Heldenfriedhof.
Reburial March 1954, in total 48 dead
TC-60 to 62
TFF-95 to 138
By the way, the blocks starting with an T originally started with an ST. So Block TC was originally STC. The ST stands for "statenloos" or "Stateless". The idea was to bury at these Blocks the Dutch who entered German military and were killed during the war. As these Dutch men entered German military service, by Dutch law they lost their Dutch nationality. However, in fact the Blocks ST were used for every purpose later and you can find Germans, Dutch, etc. buried at these blocks now.
