Port Tewfik Memorial, Military memorial at Suez Port, Egypt

The Port Tewfik Memorial features stone panels with names of Indian Army soldiers mounted in the entrance pavilions of Heliopolis War Cemetery.

The memorial, inaugurated in May 1926, commemorates 4,000 officers and men who died during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of World War I.

Scottish architects John James Burnet and Thomas S. Tait designed this monument with sculptures by British artist Charles Sargeant Jagger to honor military sacrifices.

After destruction in 1967, the memorial was moved to Heliopolis War Cemetery on Nabil el Wakkad Street in the Cairo district of Heliopolis.

The memorial combines with the Aden Memorial at its current location, creating a central point for commemorating Commonwealth forces from multiple conflicts.
