A few more battlfield graves from North Africa
which came from a recent collection I 've come
across.

Photo 1 = German grave note the artillery shells

Photo2 = This one is very interesting, its of a pilot and his plane has been intomb
as well you can see the fuselage sticking out at the back and the remains of the
engine at the front.

Photo 3 = A Polish pilots grave

Photo 4 = A Polish memorial

Photo 5 = The remains of a crashed plane with the grave of the pilot in front

Photo 6 = German piolts grave

Photo 7 = Graves at Tobruk you can make out who the two front graves belong to. So I did a search on the CWGC with the name Mansa Ram thinking that it was an unusual name...think again! thousands. I couldn't believe how many Indian's
lost their lives during WW2. The other name was T Newal 6917446 something rifles
unfortunately nothing came up.

Photo 8 = German grave with the Afrika Corps sign made out of stones.

Photo 9 = Cemetery at Capuzzo near to Fort Capuzzo

"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
Lest we forget."
