The Sangro River War Cemetery, located near Torino di Sangro in Italy, is a British and Commonwealth cemetery commemorating 2,617 Allied soldiers who fell during World War II. Most died during the intense fighting in November–December 1943 along the Adriatic front, particularly in the assault to cross the Sangro River and break through the German Winter Line. The site also includes the Sangro River Cremation Memorial, honouring 517 Indian soldiers cremated in accordance with their faith. The cemetery features well-organized marble gravestones forming an amphitheatre shape, and paths lined with magnolias and hawthorns that lead to the Cross of Sacrifice and the Door of Remembrance. Among the graves is Major John Anderson, a Victoria Cross recipient.
