Italy 1943–1945
Naples War Cemetery, Miano
CWGC war cemetery
The story
The main Commonwealth cemetery of Naples holds 1,202 Second World War burials, many of them men who died in the three general hospitals set up in the city after its liberation, as well as soldiers moved in from small burial grounds nearby. It is a quiet counterpoint to the chaos of the city centre.
What to look for
Look for the variety of regiments and nations; the cemetery reflects the whole Allied base in Naples.
