The Jerusalem Indian War Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in Jerusalem for fallen servicemen of India in the World War I.
The cemetery is located in the southern neighbourhood of Talpiot, on Korei HaDorot Street.[1][2] It contains the mass grave of 79 Indian soldiers from the Egyptian Expeditionary Force, as well as the graves of 290 Turkish prisoners of war.[3][4] Other war dead, many of them Arab workers employed by the expeditionary corps,[5] are buried in three more separate cemeteries: the Latin (Catholic) Cemetery and the Protestant Cemetery (likely those from Mount Zion), and the Bab Sitna Mariam Muslim cemetery next to the Lions' Gate.[3][failed verification]
