War Cemeteries in Mombasa

Mombasa Mbaraki Cemetery: War Grave Plots

Mombasa (Mbaraki) Cemetery situated on the southern side of the island along Mbaraki Road is a sizeable civil cemetery containing war grave plots as well as scattered war graves. The Cemetery fronts directly onto the road, from which the Cross of Sacrifice by the Second World War graves plot can easily be seen. The WWI graves are scattered on either side of the path running from north to south within the civil cemetery, either individually or in plots. During the First World War, Mombasa was home to No.1 Base Hospital. Numerous wartime activities took place there during the Second World War and it was of some importance as a minor naval base. All in all, Mombasa (Mbaraki) Cemetery contains 51 burials of the First World War and 146 of the Second World War. There are also 28 non-war and two French war graves. The base of the Cross of Sacrifice in the cemetery forms the Mombasa British Memorial which records the names of 81 officers and men of the United Kingdom Corps and Regiments, of South, West, East African units and the West India Regiment, all of whom died during the WW1 and were buried at sea off the East African coast. It is open daily between 06:00 – 18:00.

Kenya has several war memorials that commemorate the sacrifices of soldiers and civilians during various conflicts, including World War I and World War II. These memorials serve as places for reflection and remembrance, and are important historical and cultural landmarks honoring those who fought and died.
