Location Information

Theuville is a village and commune about 9.5 miles (15 kilometres) south-south-east of Chartres, a town on the Paris-Le Mans railway line. The most practical way of visiting the cemetery is by taxi from Chartres. The Churchyard is on the south-eastern side of the village on the D.114 road to the neighbouring village of Beauvilliers. North-east of, and near, the crucifix in the centre are the graves of six airmen, one of whom belonged to the Royal Air Force and five to the Royal Canadian Air Force.
