Caserta War Cemetery
CWGC war cemetery
The story
A walled section of the town cemetery holds 768 Commonwealth burials: men who died in the 2nd General Hospital, which worked here from December 1943 to September 1945, prisoners of war who died in the prisoner-of-war hospital at Caserta, and soldiers killed in the Volturno fighting of October 1943.
What to look for
A small, peaceful plot inside the town cemetery; note the Volturno dates of October 1943 on many headstones.
