What a wonderful history is captured in these photos.  Thanks for posting them!

Don't know wiggy, can't make it out. Leather gaitors as well. One of the other albums had someone in the Baghdad civil police.

You are probably right YT - the coloured ribbon on his cap is different and what got me thinking - - - - but to have a German in the middle of all these allied photos would seem a bit odd.

Very emotive photos YT, the fresh graves especially.

RIP all who have fallen in the performance of their duty.    :'(

Honour their memory - always.

These photos capture the feeling of the time perfectly. What are your plans for them, YT - as said already I'm sure there is a museum somewhere that would welcome them?
