77 Headstones at Ma'Asker Al Raschid RAF Cemetery

The recent photographs taken by Ben Soppitt on the 21st October 2025 and by the UK Defence Attaché Graeme Wearmouth on the 2nd November 2025 at the Ma'Asker Al Raschid RAF Cemetery (formerly named the Hinaidi RAF Peace Cemetery) has enabled me to compare these photographs with those taken by Brigadier Adam McRae in 2021, resulting in the confirmation of another five headstones, in fragmented but identifiable condition. This brings the total number of identifiable headstones to 76 (seventy-six), greater than one quarter of all 300 graves at Ma'Asker. I have updated my website to reflect the latest finding and have attached below a summary table showing the location of the graves matching every surviving headstone, with an indication as to whether the headstone is complete or damaged. As a matter of interest I have also highlighted every grave for which the serviceman buried there had received official recognition during his lifetime, ranging from Military Cross to a knighthood.

Note: As at 13th November 2025, after another headstone fragment was identified, there are now 77 headstones identified at Ma'Asker Al Raschid RAF Cemetery. To view all seventy-seven headstone images visit this page on this website.
