About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is actually located at Kiganjo, a small town famous for its police training college. Coming from Nairobi, take the Naro Moro to Nanuki road from Karatina to Nyeri, as indicated by the direction sign. On the road from Karatina to Nyeri take the right turning signposted to Nanyuki and the cemetery is 8 kilometres up this road set back to the right hand side. A direction sign indicates the turn off for the cemetery as it is not easily visible from the road.

Three general hospitals were built at Nyeri during the Second World War but only two were used; one by the military authorities and the other for the Italian refugees and prisoners of war held in the area. The burials in the war cemetery were made from these hospitals. Nyeri War Cemetery contains 368 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the Second World War. Four of the burials are unidentified and one soldier is commemorated by a special memorial. The cemetery also contains two non-war burials and one French war grave. Nine Italian graves have been removed.
