Result

Your answer: — · Correct: C

Explanation

The Heliopolis Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery is located in Cairo, Egypt [1]. Established in October 1941 during the Second World War, it was primarily used for burials of personnel who died in local hospitals during the North African campaign [1]. The cemetery is situated in the Heliopolis district, an affluent suburb of Cairo that was originally built on the site of the ancient city of Heliopolis [1]. It contains over 1,700 Commonwealth burials from World War II. Additionally, the site houses two significant World War I memorials: the Heliopolis (Port Tewfik) Memorial, which commemorates nearly 4,000 members of the Indian Army, and the Heliopolis (Aden) Memorial [1]. These memorials were relocated to Cairo after the original structures in Port Tewfik and Aden were destroyed during later conflicts.
