Visiting Information:PLEASE NOTE: The cemetery is permanently open and may be visited anytime but you should be aware that Naples War Cemetery is located in an area where there have been a number of robberies from individuals. The Commission cannot accept responsibility for any incident which might occur but you may wish to bear this in mind both in planning and during your visit to the cemetery.
Historical Information:On 3 September 1943 the Allies invaded the Italian mainland, the invasion coinciding with an armistice made with the Italians who then re-entered the war on the Allied side. Allied objectives were to draw German troops from the Russian front and more particularly from France, where an offensive was planned for the following year. The 65th and 92nd General Hospitals were in Naples from late in 1943 until the end of the war, also the 67th General Hospital for the greater part of that time. The site for the war cemetery was chosen in November 1943 and burials were made in it
from the hospitals and garrison. Later graves were brought in from a number of small cemeteries in the immediate vicinity. Naples War Cemetery contains 1,202 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. There are also some non war burials and war graves of other nationalities.
