THE COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION STRONGLY ADVISES THAT SHOULD BE CONTACTED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO VISIT ALGERIA.

Dely Ibrahim is a village in hilly country on the southwestern outskirts of Algiers on the road to Blida. The War Cemetery lies on the slope of the hill about 500 metres short of the centre of Dely Ibrahim.

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.
