Commemorative Information, Cemetery: SANGRO RIVER WAR CEMETERY, Italy
Grave Reference/Panel Number: XI. B. 4.
Location: The Sangro River War Cemetery lies in the Contrada Sentinellein the Commune of Torino di Sangro, Province of Chieti. Take the roadSS16 between Pescara and Vasto from the auto strada A14 exit at Val di Sangro. At about 2.5 km from this exit turn right onto the SS16 for nearly 2 km. There is then a sharp right turn up to cemetery. The cemetery is permanently open and may be visited anytime.
Historical Information: The site of Sangro River War Cemetery was selected by the 5th Corps. Into it were concentrated the graves of men who lost their lives in the fierce fighting on the Adriatic sector of thefront in November-December 1943, and during the subsequent static period there. The 8th Indian Division was on this sector during these months; the 4th Indian Division arrived in January 1944, and the 10th Indian Division in April 1944. There are therefore many Muslim burials in the cemetery, in plots VI, VII, XIII and XVIII; and the cemetery contains one of the three cremation memorials in Italy (the others being in Forli Indian Army War Cemetery and in Rimini Gurkha War Cemetery). The New Zealand Division also suffered heavily in the fighting for and beyond the Sangro River, and many of their graves are here. The Canadians have their own cemetery not far off, at Moro River. Sangro River War Cemetery contains, besides the graves of those who died in battle or of wounds,those of quite a number of British prisoners of war who escaped and died either of exposure or otherwise while trying to reach the British lines.There are now 2,500, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, nearly 100 are unidentified.

Though therefore ye monument be silent, and speak not ye virtues yt adorned her, jet let noone fear they so lay concealed since she has left so many living witnesses of them. Her friends, relatives and acquaintances, all who loved her. It is all who knew her, will bear testimony to them and yepoor, ye sick, and ye industrious, as many as any respect, stood in need of either her counsel, or assistance in ys Place and neighbourhood, especially will not easily be forgotten.
