The interested visitor would do well to obtain beforehand a copy of the pocket-size book The Old
British Cemetery Kyrenia–Shadows of Empire by Dorothyann Betts, with its colourful and fascinating
biographies of 44 individuals buried in this cemetery. The book is available locally in Kyrenia and from
members of the Girne Cemetery Committee, and all proceeds from its sale go to support the ongoing
voluntary work of this Committee.

the Cyprus Emergency servicemen alphabetically, rather than by regiment or service, and also gave the
cause of death, where known. The site also provided a downloadable index of all the burials at Kyrenia
British Cemetery, and photographs of the headstones.
