Annie, it is so sad...I've known about this for a while as my Great Uncle is remembered in the Basra Cemetery...he died 21 Apr 1917. It's heartbreaking to see the desecration but it makes me feel so much better to know that he, and the others remembered there, are not forgotten by our present day troops.

Every so often the troops get to the Kut War Cemetery - where some of my soldiers are ..... the shame of it is .... each time they go back they see something else wrong !!
All we can hope for is ... when all this craziness is over .... their graveyards will be put to rights !
