St Symphorien Military Cemetery
The St Symphorien Military Cemetery is a First World War Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground in Saint-Symphorien, Belgium. It contains the graves of 284 German and 229 Commonwealth soldiers and principally contains those killed during the Battle of Mons. The cemetery was established by the German Army on land donated by Jean Houzeau de Lehaie, and was initially designed as a woodland cemetery before being redesigned by William Harrison Cowlishaw after the Imperial War Graves Commission took over maintenance of the cemetery after the war.
Notable Commonwealth burials in the cemetery include John Parr and George Lawrence Price, traditionally believed to be the first and last Commonwealth soldiers killed in action during the First World War and Maurice Dease the first posthumous recipient of the Victoria Cross of the war. Notable German burials include Oskar Niemeyer the first Iron Cross recipient of World War I.
