Another Three Headstones Found at Ma'Asker Cemetery

Thanks to photographs taken by Ben Soppitt when he visited the Ma'Asker Al Raschid RAF Cemetery on his visit to Baghdad a few days ago, I have been able to identify another three headstones, albeit it in damaged and incomplete condition. This takes the number of identifiable headstones up to 73 (seventy-three), out of the total number of 300 graves. The newly discovered headstones are for Sergeant Pilot Herbert Victor Hudson of 30 Squadron (buried in Plot 1, Row C, Grave 7), Corporal Arthur J Carless of 70 Squadron (buried in Plot 3, Row G, Grave 3) and Sergeant William Stanley Woods of the Royal Air Force Headquarters, Baghdad (Plot 3, Row M, Grave 1).

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