New Photo of Ma'Asker Al Raschid Headstone Unearthed

I was contacted by Cliff Thornton regarding a 55 Squadron man who died in an accident while stationed at the Aircraft Deport Baghdad and was buried at Hinaidi (renamed Ma'Asker Al Raschid RAF Cemetery) on the 2nd June 1935. As well as providing me with useful background information on LAC Robert Raw, Cliff also sent me photographs of Robert Raw's Ma'Asker headstone as well as the wreath placed on the grave and a photograph of the badge given to Robert Raw when he undertook his apprenticeship at RAF Halton.
