Buried in the cemetery is an Allied soldier from the Second World War. Locals found the soldier floating in the sea on September 11th, 1944. The police gathered the identification, but during the German disarmament of the Danish police the identification were lost. The only known part about the soldier was that he was Australian and part of the British Royal Air Force. The Germans allowed the people of Magleby to discreetly bury the soldier on Magleby Cemetery. During the remainder of the war the grave always had fresh flowers, as a silent act of resistance from the locals of Magleby. On July 1st, 1945 a gravestone was erected, paid for by the members of Magleby Parish.[39]
