Commonwealth War Cemetery CEMETERY
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Nilaveli Rd; dawn-dusk)
For a break from the beach, stroll up to this beautifully kept cemetery. This is the last rest-
ing place for hundreds of Commonwealth servicemen who died at Trinco during WWII,
most of them during a 1942 Japanese raid that sank over a dozen vessels.
