Amara War Cemetery, Military cemetery in Amarah, Iraq
The Amara War Cemetery contains 4,621 graves from World War I, with stone markers and memorial walls displaying names of fallen soldiers.
Established in 1917, this cemetery became a central burial ground for Commonwealth forces during the Mesopotamian campaign of World War I.
The cemetery includes graves of military personnel from British, Indian, and other Commonwealth nations, representing diverse military contributions.
Located near the Tigris River, the cemetery remains accessible to visitors despite maintenance challenges since 1991 due to regional circumstances.
