Habbaniyah War Cemetery Grave Remembered No 2

This month, seventy-one years ago on the 13th February 1955, Mrs Joyce Hall Hawkhead, the wife of Squadron Leader Hawkhead of the Royal Air Force and the mother of two children Julia and Carol, died in the hospital at RAF Habbaniya from peripheral circulation failure following an ectopic pregnancy and was buried in the cemetery at Habbaniyah in Plot 4 Row B Grave 1. She was forty years old. May she rest in peace.

Note that my website is the only place where you will find headstone photographs for all of the 290 burials at the Habbaniyah War Cemetery, including a photograph for the grave which currently does not have a headstone, that of First Officer Oskar Kristiansen of the Norwegian Navy who died on the 26th March 1945.
