GUERNSEY, United Kingdom -- Former enemies, now allies, British and German soldiers have come together to work on a unique project on the Channel island of Guernsey – restoring the war graves of military personnel who died on the island during the Second World War.

It is the first time the German military has returned to Guernsey in uniform since the Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands that lasted until 1945.

The troops serve with NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps based in Gloucestershire and were invited to work at the small military cemetery at Fort George on Guernsey’s east coast, which includes 111 German war graves.
