Why grave site was chosen
By the winter of 1943, the German armies in
Italy were defending a line stretching from
the Tyrrhenian Sea north of Naples, to the
Adriatic Sea south of Ortona. The Allies
prepared to break through this line to
capture Rome. For its part, the 1st Canadian
Infantry Division was to cross the Moro River
and take Ortona. In January 1944 the Canadian
Corps selected this site, intending that it
would contain the graves of those who died
during the Ortona battle and in the fighting
in the weeks before and after it. Today,
there are 1,615 graves in the cemetery, of
which over 50 are unidentified and 1, 375 are
Canadian.
