About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is also known as Cuzco Wells Cemetery, Cuzco Beach Naval Cemetery or just Cuzco Cemetery, and is located on U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The Naval Cemetery near Cuzco Beach was established in 1940 and is the current burial ground for all bodies to be interred on the Base. It received all the remains from McCalla Hill Cemetery in 1940. In November 1944, all bodies that remained in the North Toro and Caracoles Point Cemeteries were transferred to the Cuzco Beach Naval Cemetery. [added later: As of 2001 records showed an internment count of more than 330.] (The History of Guantanamo Bay, 1494-1964 by M.E. Murphy, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy originally published Jan. 5, 1953)
