Locations
Australian War Graves exist in as many varied forms, as the many varied countries in which they are found. The locations that hold our brave military heroes range from Iceland to India, and from Samoa to a great many in Scandinavia. The style of grave or memorial varies, due to location, access to raw materials, climate and the desired commemoration, which is usually conflict specific.
Approximately 88 countries hold Australian or Australian related war graves and/or memorial commemorations. The numbers range from 38,263 commemorations in France to 1 in Ethiopia, Mauritius and Fiji. It is hoped that this website will give you an idea of the range and number of graves, and the enormous scale of Australia's sacrifice and commemoration.
