ATAN CEMETERY: The cemetery contains the largest concentration of 1939-1945 war graves in Nigeria.

The cemetery is in Yaba, a suburb of Lagos. It is within a large civil cemetery known locally as Atan Cemetery which lies on the Eastern outskirts of Lagos, on University road, beyond Moorehouse Road and the Medical Research Institute. The cemetery contains the largest concentration of 1939-1945 war graves in Nigeria. The graves are arranged in four plots, the two plots at the far end where the Mohammedans and Pagans lie, being separated by an avenue from the two in the foreground, which contain the European and African Christian burials.
