Aabenraa is a town on the southeast Jutland coast about 25 kilometres north of the German border.

History

Aabenraa Cemetery contains a Commonwealth war graves plot of 147 burials of the Second World War, most of them airmen. Two Commonwealth sailors of the First World War are buried elsewhere in the cemetery, in a joint grave marked by a private memorial. The Commonwealth plot also contains seven Polish war graves.

Of the 147 burials 12 are of Australians who never came home.
