Area

[edit]
"Greece gave free land to build a complex of 7,000 km²"

= 2,700 square miles = over 1,700,000 acres. That can't possibly be right. The plan given by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (PDF, click on "Download Cemetery Plan" under the picture) looks more like, very roughly, not over 700,000 square feet, = 65,000 m² = 0.065 km² = 0.025 mi². See also the map on the same site (click Map tab). I'm changing the area to "70,000 m²", which is a very rough estimate but light-years closer to the fact. and possibly what the original meant*


* The original Serbian article says

Грчка је бесплатно уступила земљиште за изградњу комплекса од 7 000 km²

which Google Translates to

Greece has donated free land for the construction of the complex of 7 000 km²
