Cemetery: HAIDAR PASHA CEMETERY Any comments welcome Chris This is indeed a new one for me, I am researching all the men from Armadale & District who were killed during the First World War, and this includes all who were born in Armadale then moved away later. Could I use this photograph you have posted in the little Local History book that I am putting together? Do we know what happened to these Gordons?
