Reichswald Forest War Cemetary

Hello guys,

Recently I visited the Reichswald Forest War Cemetary. Most grave locations are given as plotnumber - row - grave number but...
The eight crewmembers of Halifax DT511 of 76 Sqdn.RAF were buried in a collective grave, the reference in the CWGC register given as

B.9-14, coll.gr.21

However, the plan of this cemetary does not reveal where I can find this grave. Have I overlooked something? Who has any idea?

Many thanks for any help/hints offered,
Marcel

Re: Reichswald Forest War Cemetary

I may have found the answer on my own request. Perhaps it should be

Collective graves in Plot 21, Row B, numbers 9-14

rather than Coll.grave 21 in B.9-14

Nevertheless, any comments are welcome before I start a new trip

Marcel

Marcel,
The a/c crashed at Liedern near Bocholt close to the Dutch border.
They were first buried at Bocholt (24-12-42), later reinterred in Reichswald Forest War Cemetery: Plot 21, Row B, Graves 9-14
Regards
