The cemetery register and visitors book are not available outside of the working hours.

However the entrace gate is low, and it is possible to gain access by stepping over the gate. The gate can also be opened by entering the combination LUCK on the padlock.

Historical Information

Allied troops made a series of landings on the Algerian coast in early November 1942. From there, they swept east into Tunisia, where the North African campaign came to an end in May 1943 with the surrender of the Axis forces.

Dely Ibrahim War Cemetery contains 494 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War and 11 war graves of other nationalities. There are also 25 non-war graves, mostly of merchant seamen whose deaths were not due to war service.
