The Commonwealth Anzio War Cemetery is to be found about a kilometre from Anzio town in Italy. It is a very special and communal cemetery for the local and surrounding peoples. It is well kept and contains just over 1000 graves resulting from Operation Shingle. Having seen the make up of the 1st Canadian Division which was sent there in 1944 it is clear from the graves that those who rest there were from the units of the 1st Division.

It should not be confused with the beach head cemetery which is for Americans.
