Plot 6 Headstones - Habbaniya War Cemetery
This page provides a photograph of each of the thirty-nine (39) new headstones in Plot 6 of the Habbaniya War Cemetery. The photographs appear in Row and Grave sequence but can also be accessed directly by clicking on the name of the person of interest by via the cemetery diagram page.
​
Due to an oversight back in 2018 / 2019 when the Habbaniya War Cemetery was completely restored, a new headstone was not made for Norwegian sailor Oskar Kristiansen, who died on the 26th March 1945 (Plot 6 Row C Grave 1). Consequently Kristiansen's grave is currently unmarked. As at January 2024, the CWGC on behalf of the Norwegian Graves Commission will make a new headstone and install it at Habbaniya. In the meantime I have attached an image of Kristiansen's original and almost illegible headstone at the end of this section as well as a corrected image that shows the wording of the original inscription. I have also marked the position of Kristiansen's grave on the background image of Plot 6 (not visible if you are viewing this website using a mobile phone).
