1890 and 1894. Four of these were killed at Quatre Bras, the remainder at Waterloo, including Captain John Lucie Blackman of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, who was killed at Hougomont on the day of the battle. The exception, and the only Non-Commissioned Officer, is Sergeant-Major Edward Cotton (7th Hussars), who survived the battle to become a guide for tourists to the battlefield and was buried at Hougomont after his death in 1849. The remainder are all British Army officers and include Colonel Sir William Howe De Lancey (Deputy Quartermaster-General of the British Army in Belgium), Colonel Edward Stables and Lieutenant-Colonel William Henry Milnes (both 1st Foot Guards), Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Alexander Gordon (3rd Foot Guards) and Major William Lloyd (Royal Artillery). British Commonwealth War Graves (20th Century) The cemetery contains the war graves of 53 British Commonwealth service personnel of World War I and 587 from World War II. Most of the graves from the former war, all within Plot X, are of bodies of prisoners of war exhumed from Germany and reburied here by the Canadian Corps in April 1919. Those of the latter war are of troops of the British Expeditionary Force in Belgium in May 1940 before the retreat to Dunkirk, aircrew crashed or shot down over Belgium, and, predominately, those on lines of communication duties after the liberation of Brussels in September 1944. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission are responsible for these graves as well as for 35 Foreign National service burials and 5 non-World War service burials. Belgian Airmen's Field of Honour This Field of Honour, located within the cemetery, was created to inter Belgian airmen who died in World War II. It is administered and maintained by the Belgian Ministry of Defence, although the Commonwealth War Graves Commission commemoratively lists 84 of the airmen buried here who died serving in British Commonwealth air forces following the fall of Belgium to Nazi German occupation in 1940. In all, over 200 airmen are commemorated there with headstones. Around 30 of those, whose headstones are marked as disparu (i.e. missing), have no known grave.
