Mosul War Cemetery

A Commonwealth war cemetery that records Mosul's difficult twentieth-century military history.

Mosul War Cemetery is a sober memorial site rather than a conventional attraction. It commemorates Commonwealth service members connected with campaigns in the region and offers a quieter historical counterpoint to Mosul's mosques, churches, markets, and ancient ruins.

Because conditions in Mosul can change and access may be sensitive, treat the cemetery as a site to research carefully before visiting. For travellers with a serious interest in military history, it adds context to the city's strategic position on the Tigris and its turbulent modern past.
