Generally I believe families of the dead have a choice over repatriation, but in WW2 too many were dying and the logistics were impractical at a time of total war.

Incidentally, I don't believe these graves were attacked because they were British. The attackers seemed more interested in the fact that there were Christian and Jewish emblems on them.
