Historical Information
Haifa was of great strategic importance during the Second World War because of its deep water harbour and airfield. It was also the terminus of the railway line from Egypt and of the Kirkuk-Haifa oil pipeline. Haifa became one of the main supply bases and arms depots serving the Middle East forces and a large naval depot was established at Haifa Bay.
The cemetery was prepared in 1941 for the burial of service war dead in northern Palestine (now Israel) but graves were also brought in from Haifa (Sharon) British Civil Cemetery, from Mafrog Cemetery in the former Trans-Jordan and from Dafna Cemetery in Syria. Among the Merchant Navy seamen buried in the cemetery are those who lost their lives when the SS 'Zealand' was torpedoed off the coast of Palestine on 28 June 1942.
The cemetery now contains 691 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, and 91 war graves of other nationalities.
Among the 95 non-war burials in the cemetery are some of men of the Merchant Navy who died during the war, but whose deaths were not due to war service. However, the majority of the non-war graves are of soldiers who died during disturbances preceding the end of the British Mandate in Palestine in May 1948.

שמו של בית הקברות ניתן לו על שם משפחת כיאט שבבעלותה היה השטח מחוף הרחצה הסמוך ועד נחל שיח.[2]
מתחם בית הקברות הוא שטח מלבני נטוע דשא, ששטחו כ-65 דונם. פאתו הצרה פונה אל הכביש. החללים נקברו בו ב-11 חלקות.
במרכז שטח בית הקברות ניצב צלב ההקרבה. בצד שער הכניסה למתחם ניצבת תיבת ארד ובה ספר המרשם (Register) של החללים שנקברו באתר.
בית הקברות במתכונתו הקבועה הוקם ומתוחזק על ידי ועדת חבר העמים לקברי מלחמה.
בבית הקברות נקברו 791 חללי צבאות מדינות האימפריה הבריטית שנהרגו בארץ ישראל, בעבר הירדן ובסוריה בתקופת מלחמת העולם השנייה[3] (מתוכם: 534 בריטים, 5 קנדים, 54 אוסטרלים, 6 ניו זילנדים, 14 דרום אפריקאים, 29 הודים, 13 מאפריקה המזרחית, 2 מאפריקה המערבית, 1 קפריסאי, 41 משטחי הנציבות העליונה, 1 בלגי, 4 צ'כים, 22 צרפתים, 51 יוונים, 1 הולנדי, 5 פולנים, 3 מעבר הירדן, 3 יוגוסלבים ו-2 בלתי מזוהים) וכן חייל מהצבא הגרמני. מרבית חללי האימפריה הבריטית נהרגו במלחמת העולם השנייה, אך 95 מהם נהרגו שלא במסגרתה. מרבית אלו היו חיילים שנהרגו בפעולות צבאיות בארץ ישראל בשלהי ימי המנדט הבריטי.

Haifa became one of the main supply bases and arms depots serving the Middle East forces and a large naval depot was established at Haifa Bay. The cemetery was again used during the early part of the war until the new war cemetery at Khayat Beach was opened.

Historical Information
By October 1917, General Allenby's force had been entrenched in front of a strong Turkish position along the Gaza-Beersheba road for some months, but they were now ready to launch an attack with Beersheba as its first objective. On 31 October, the attack was carried out by the XXth Corps (10th, 53rd, 60th and 74th Divisions) on the west, and the Desert Mounted Corps on the east. That evening the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade charged over the Turkish trenches into the town.
The cemetery was made immediately on the fall of the town, remaining in use until July 1918, by which time 139 burials had been made It was greatly increased after the Armistice when burials were brought in from a number of scattered sites and small burial grounds.
The cemetery now contains 1,241 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, 67 of them unidentified.
Students visit Gaza War Cemetery which holds remains of WWI dead
(11 Nov 2018) Students on Sunday visited the Gaza War Cemetery that contains the graves and memorials of approximately 2,700 mostly Allied soldiers.
Most of the fallen were killed when British forces captured Gaza from the Ottomans after three major battles.
The visit from the students comes on Armistice Day, as countries around the world hold ceremonies commemorating 100 years since the end of World War I.
Ibrahim Jarada, the cemetery's keeper, said not many foreigners visit the site however some send in wreaths of symbolic red poppies for him to place on their loved ones' graves.
The students' history teacher, Yolla Bader, said the visit to the cemetery was for her students to learn more about Gaza's archaeological sites and to gain a better understanding of the first and second world wars.
