About this cemetery
This military cemetery in Amarah, southern Iraq, was made after the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force occupied Amara on 3 June 1915. It served Indian military hospitals set up on the left bank of the Tigris and contains about 5,000 First World War burials. Amarah became a major hospital centre for the expeditionary force.
