BELGRADE WAR CEMETERY The war cemetery is in Uliga Baju Sekulica, in the city's Fifth Region,
and is on the edge of the New Yugoslav Cemetery (Novo Groblije). The cemetery
was created to receive the remains of British and Commonwealth casualties
brought in from more than sixty small burial grounds and from isolated
sites all over Yugoslavia. The largest number from any one place came
from Milna Military Cemetery and the Royal Naval and Harbour Cemeteries
on the island of Vis (Lissa) which was our base. The burials in the War
Cemetery include escaped prisoners of war from Italy and Greece. The civilians
buried here include a mining technician, a teacher of English, a newpaper
correspondent, a member of the Embassy staff and the child of another
member of Embassy staff. They were buried or re-buried in the cemetery
by permission of the Army Graves Service.
