SIMON'S TOWN (DIDO VALLEY) CEMETERY Western Cape, South Africa

The cemetery lies in a valley 2 miles North of Simon's Town. The cemetery as a whole belongs to the Municipality, but after the withdrawal of the Royal Navy, the control and maintenance of the section formerly known as the Naval Reservation and of the adjoining Military Reservation, was taken over from the Municipality by the South African Navy, who together with the appropriate Government department, is now responsible for the military section of the cemetery.
