Cimetière de guerre canadien d'Agira Italie
Le cimetière militaire canadien d'Agira est situé dans la commune d'Agira, province d'Enna, au coeur de la Sicile. Pour s'y rendre, emprunter l'autoroute A19 (Catane-Palerme), sortir à Catenanuova et prendre la direction de Regalbuto. Après Regalbuto, continuer jusqu'à Agira. Le cimetière se trouve à environ 12 kilomètres de Regalbuto.
Le 10 juillet 1943, après avoir conclu avec succès à la mi-mai la campagne d'Afrique du Nord, un contigent allié de 160 000 hommes, formé de soldats Américains et du Commonwealth, débarqua en Sicile avant de prendre d'assaut l'Italie continentale. Les Italiens, qui allaient bientôt signer la paix avec les Alliés et poursuivre la guerre à leurs côtés, offrirent peu de résistance. L'opposition des Allemands fut toutefois très vigoureuse. La campagne de Sicile prit fin le 17 août, lors de la jonction des deux contingents alliés à Messine. On ne parvint pas cependant à couper la retraite ennemie. Agira fut prise le 28 juillet par la 1re Division canadienne. En septembre, on choisit le site où seraient inhumés tous les Canadiens morts au combat durant la campagne de Sicile. Le cimetière militaire canadien d'Agira renferme 491 tombes de soldats du Commonwealth décédés durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
