During the North African campaign, Tripoli stood as a key Axis base until it was taken by Montgomery’s forces on 23 January 1943. It later became a vital hospital centre, with burials in this peaceful cemetery largely belonging to those who passed through its wartime hospitals, including Nos. 2, 48, and 133 General Hospitals from March 1943, and No. 89 General Hospital from April 1944.
Today, Tripoli War Cemetery holds 1,369 Commonwealth soldiers of the Second World War, 133 of them unknown. It also contains 19 non-Commonwealth burials and 7 non-war service graves.
