Restoration Works Commence at Ma'Asker RAF Cemetery!

Three years in the making, restoration work at the Ma'Asker Al Raschid RAF Cemetery (formerly known at the Hinaidi RAF Peace Cemetery) commenced on September 29, 2021. Once the perimeter of the cemetery has been accurately mapped as per the official CWGC plan of 1964, construction of a concrete block wall will be carried out by local contractors, under the auspices of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and funded by the British Ministry of Defence. Pictured is the measuring of the western perimeter boundary.
