British Cemetery of Tavagnacco

Adegliacco, a hamlet in the municipality of Tavagnacco on the northern outskirts of Udine, is home to the only War Cemetery in Friuli, a British cemetery that contains Allied dead from the Second World War.

Inside are the graves of 414 fallen servicemen of Anglo-Saxon origin (British, Australian, New Zealand and South African) who died in the vicinity of the Friulian city while fighting against Nazi-Fascist forces. Among the graves stands a monument that also commemorates the only British casualty of the First World War buried here, an unidentified soldier exhumed from the former cemetery of Versa, a hamlet of Romans d'Isonzo (Gorizia).
