Background: AMERICA'S MEMORIAL DAY, THE DAY OF THE YEAR WHEN AMERICANS ALL OVER THE WORLD REMEMBER THEIR WAR DEAD, WAS COMMEMORATED IN BRITAIN TODAY (SUNDAY).

MADINGLEY, NEAR CAMBRIDGE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST AMERICAN WAR GRAVE CEMETERIES IN BRITAIN, WAS CHOSEN FOR THE REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY. THE MEMORIAL DAY ITSELF DATES BACK TO THE LAST CENTURY, WHEN IT WAS SET ASIDE IN TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO DIED DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR.

NEARLY FOUR THOUSAND AMERICAN SERVICEMEN WHO DIED IN THE EUROPEAN THEATRE OF WAR ARE BURIED AT MADINGLEY.
