Leros War Cemetery (Alinda)

37° 9.6′ N · 26° 50.2′ E

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery on the road into Alinda, a peaceful walled garden of graves from the Battle of Leros.

Practical

CWGC figures (via Little Ship Club) give 127 identified Allied casualties; a Swedish travel site counts 179 British, two Canadian and two South African graves. The cemetery is permanently open. It sits just before Alinda on the left coming from Agia Marina, a short walk from the Alinda Bay (Leros) anchorage. Coordinate from OpenStreetMap.
