Cimetière de guerre canadien de la Moro Italie
Le cimetière de guerre canadien de la Moro se trouve dans la région de San Donato dans la commune d'Ortona, province de Chieti, et est situé sur des terres élevées, près de la mer, juste à l'est de la route côtière adriatique principale (route no SS16). Si vous êtes à Rome, vous pouvez vous y rendre en prenant l'autoroute A25 (Rome - Pescara). Vous n'avez qu'à bifurquer sur l'autoroute A14 et la quitter à Ortona. La route latérale qui relie le cimetière à la route principale passe sous une arche attenante à la petite église de San Donato. Le cimetière est toujours ouvert et peut être visité en tout temps.
Pendant l'hiver de 1943, les armées allemandes en Italie défendaient une ligne qui s'étendait depuis la mer Thyrénéenne au nord de Naples, jusqu'à l'Adriatique au sud d'Ortona. L'objectif des Alliés consistait à enfoncer cette ligne et à s'emparer de Rome. De son côté, la 1re Division de l'infanterie canadienne devait franchir la rivière Moro et s'emparer d'Ortona. En janvier 1944, les Corps d'armée canadien choisit ce site, afin d'y inhumer ceux qui périrent au cours de la bataille d'Ortona et des combats livrés pendant les semaines qui l'avaient précédée et suivie. Aujourd'hui, on y trouve 1 651 sépultures dont plus de 50 non identifiées et celles de 1 375 Canadiens.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
