It's not so well-known, but there are a lot of German and Italian war-graves in Staffordshire. This is due partly to the fact that there were prisoner-of-war camps built here in the county during the time, and partly because the military hospitals servicing the enemy forces were here too.
At Burton-upon-Trent's main cemetery in Stapenhill, you will find a number of such Axis war graves. On Armistice Day (November 11th), they are no doubt respected as much as those of the Allied forces.
There are lot in the commonwealth war grave cemetery in Oxford and I wonder about the loved one they left behind
