Basra (Makina) RAF Cemetery Plan

With the kind assistance of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission I am now able to share details and specific grave locations for the seventy-one (71) men buried at the Basra (Makina) RAF Cemetery. Forty-six graves are for Royal Air Force personnel, nine graves for men of the Royal Navy, three from the British Army, five from the Indian Army and eight civilians. As the cemetery is for deaths that were 'between the wars', the grave locations are not available on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, though the names of the fallen do appear in the on-line Iraq Roll of Honour (click on the following link to view the ROH https://www.cwgc.org/non-commemoration/rolls-of-honour/ and look at pages 153 and 154). I have just completed a section to my website (Sep 2025) that is dedicated to the Basra (Makina) RAF Cemetery and the 71 men buried there. As a sample, I have attached to this post a summary chart that shows the names of the buried, their dates of death and the exact location of each grave.
