Commonwealth War Graves
Hi there
Interesting fact off of the CWGC website. With all the tension over Iraq, the CWGC are concerned about their cemetarys in that country.
There are 54, 000(!) war graves there, almost all from WWI battles with the Ottoman Turks in what was then Mesopotamia.
Fifty-four thousand boys a long way from home.
