Ma'Asker RAF Cemetery Grave Remembered - No 9

On this day one hundred and one years ago on the 8th March 1925 Sergeant Major Harry Cuthbert Pulley OBE, a British Army officer attached to the Indian Army and working for the Political Department in Baghdad, died of unknown causes at the military hospital in RAF Hinaidi and was buried at the cemetery there (now called the Ma'Asker Al Raschid RAF Cemetery) in Plot 3 Row I Grave 13. His headstone is one of the 77 headstones that have survived the years out of the original 300 burials at the long abandoned RAF cemetery and I have attached a photograph of his headstone and a newspaper cutting of his death to this post. RIP.

For more information on how the cemetery became abandoned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, visit the Ma'Asker Cemetery Maintenance Timeline page on Steve Buster Johnson's website, the information taken from every CWGC Annual report from 1937 to 2019.
