The Becklingen War Cemetery is a military cemetery located in the state of Lower Saxony in north Germany on the Lüneburg Heath. It was built by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission who continue to look after it today. The cemetery lies near Getrudenhof near the village of Becklingen and just north of the former British Army base of Hohne Station where the Headquarters of 7th Armoured Brigade and several brigade units were based until 2015, before the brigade moved back to the UK.
