As part of researching the section I am developing for my website on the subject of the Amara War Cemetery in Iraq, I wanted to see what if anything remained of the original cemetery before it was virtually destroyed. To do this, I took a recent satellite image of the cemetery and its environs and overlaid it with the lines of the original plan. The image below is the result. Apart from many of the lines marking the various Plots being visible, the only objects visible from the air are the bases of the War Stone and the Central Cross of Remembrance.
Update 3rd October 2025: I have just completed the Amara War Cemetery section of my website.
