"Der Durnbach War Cemetery und das Durnbach Cremation Memorial ist eine Kriegsgräberstätte der Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) im Ortsteil Dürnbach in der Gemeinde Gmund am Tegernsee in Oberbayern.
Kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg hatte sich die CWGC entschlossen, in Dürnbach eine zentrale Kriegsgräberstätte zu errichten. Die meisten der dort Bestatteten gehörten der Royal Air Force an und wurden aus Bayern, Württemberg, Österreich, Hessen und Thüringen, von bestehenden Einzel- oder Gruppengräbern, nach Dürnbach umgebettet. Einige der Toten sind Angehörige der Truppen des Britischen Empire, die bei Fluchtversuchen aus deutschen Kriegsgefangenenlagern getötet wurden." - Quelle: Wikipedia
