I have visited several on my road trips through Northern France, they are quite distinctive with very white uniform gravestones in straight lines and always well maintained. They are quite distinctive on imagery. As a quick test I ran an overpass turbo query on amenity=cemetery and name:en=* on an area of North Eastern France/Belgium and that did produce some interesting results. https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Tji The tag cemetery=war_cemetery has some usage. Visiting them is quite a big thing, one of my Ramblers/CAMRA friends goes on a coach trip visiting them every year. Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2312998 leads to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14750991 but I have not idea how you get back to a list of cemeteries from that category.
