Italy 1943–1945
Anzio War Cemetery
War cemetery (Commonwealth)
The story
A smaller Commonwealth cemetery of 1,056 graves on the edge of Anzio, begun just after the landings. Many here were killed in the first weeks: the landing, the advance on Campoleone and the fighting round the Factory. It is often quieter than the larger Beach Head cemetery.
What to look for
Note the dates in late January and February 1944, and the regiments of the British 1st Division and the commandos.
