Description

Cuzco Well Cemetery is the final resting place for 330 people who have died in Guantanamo Bay. It's named for the nearby well, a site of one of the first battles of the Spanish American War in 1898.

The cemetery was established in 1944 when the base commander ordered the consolidation of seven other cemeteries around NSGB.
