Italy 1943–1945
Arezzo War Cemetery, Indicatore
Commonwealth war cemetery
The story
Arezzo was defended hard in early July 1944 and taken on 16 July by the British 6th Armoured and 2nd New Zealand Divisions. The cemetery holds 1,266 Commonwealth burials from the advance up the upper Arno; plots VII to IX contain the graves of soldiers of the 4th and 8th Indian Divisions, a reminder of how many Indian troops fought in Tuscany.
What to look for
Compare the headstones of the Indian plots, with their varied scripts and religious emblems, with the British and New Zealand rows.
