Ben Soppit who recently visited the Basra Memorial in southern Iraq, took photographs of the 69 panels commemorating the 40,633 Commonwealth servicemen who gave their lives in Mesopotamia during WW1 and were buried with no known grave, has kindly given me permission to reproduce these photos on my website. It will take a few weeks to complete this exercise but I have copied below images of the first four panels to show you what they will look like. Details of the fallen can also be found by clicking on the Commonwealth War Graves website. Ben has formed a Facebook Group, 'Friends of Basra' which I recommend you visit.
