F.E. Warren is one of a few Air Force Bases to include a base cemetery. The base cemetery was established in 1867, by Fort D.A. Russell (Former name of F.E. Warren Air Force Base) Post Commander, General John D. Stevenson. The cemetery included 40 acres of land, with the first burial in December 1867. During WWII, the remains on one Italian and eight German soldiers were buried just outside the main fence in a separate enclosure on the southeast side of the cemetery.  The Italian and German soldiers were POWs and confined to the F.E. Warren Prisoner of War Camp. The cemetery is maintained by the 90th Civil Engineer Squadrons Base Grounds Maintenance Team.
