The Cassino War Cemetery is located
at the foothill of Mount Cassino - just below the Monastery of Monte
Cassino, which was the main Allied target during one of the toughest
battles in Italy during World War II. The cemetery holds the graves
of 4,271 Commonwealth servicemen of World War II. 289 of the burials
are unidentified. At the cemetery stands the "Cassino Memorial"
which commemorates over 4,000 Commonwealth servicemen who took part
in the Italian campaign whose graves are not known. |
