Editor's Note
The Cevizköy Balkan Martyrs' Cemetery, located at the Şehitlik site in the village of Cevizköy, Pınarhisar district, Kırklareli province (map sheet E.19.d.17.c(a)), is the place where villagers buried 85 soldiers who, under the command of Osman Ağa, were ambushed and killed by the retreating Bulgarian forces during the 1912 Balkan War. In 1986 a monument was erected in memory of the 85 fallen soldiers. At the entrance to the cemetery there is a long walkway, a ceremonial area with the monument erected in 1986, and behind it the graves of the martyrs. The cemetery is surrounded by barbed wire by the military.
