 Cemetery:

 Grave Reference/
 Panel Number:
                    Coll. grave I. C. 27-30.
 Location:
                    Exit at the A12 autostrada at Genova East and follow the signs for
                    the direction of Genova. The road leads down a steep hill through
                    several tunnels. At the bottom of the hill turn right and follow the
                    road for a short distance alongside the riverbed. Take the first bridge
                    to the left and cross to the opposite side of the river and turn left.
                    Due to the one-way traffic system it is now necessary to cross the
                    river again. Take the first bridge to the left, then turn left at the
                    opposite bank. Take the first right just past a very small bus depot.
                    A large Italian communal cemetery is visible on the right. Parking is
                    available outside the communal cemetery. Walk through the large
                    entrance gate into the communal cemetery and follow the road
                    straight ahead. Signs for 'British Cemetery' are seen on the right
                    after approximately 300 metres. Climb the stairway to reach the
                    CWGC Cemetery, which consists of plots on 3 separate levels
                    connected by stairs. This cemetery is in the control of the communal
                    authorities who reserve the right to close it at anytime without
                    notice.
