Jerusalem British War Cemetery is a British cemetery in Jerusalem (Jerusalem War Cemetery) for fallen servicemen of the British Commonwealth in the World War I in Palestine. The Jerusalem War Cemetery is located on Mount Scopus next to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem campus and 4.5 km north of the Old City of Jerusalem.[1] It now contains the graves of 2,515 Commonwealth service personnel (including 100 unidentified), a number of whom were removed from at least seven other cemeteries in the area where they could not be maintained. A small Jewish section is near Plot N. Units from Australia, New Zealand, India, Egypt, South Africa and the British West Indies are also represented besides those of the United Kingdom. A small number of German and Turkish dead also are buried at the cemetery.
