Pettsy Posted 9 August , 2006 Share Posted 9 August , 2006 I know have photo's of all my Munn brothers graves and war memorial's in France, Belgium and Turkey. But no photo's of Daniel Munn's grave in Baghdad. I doubt I ever will, what with the trouble there. I have often wondered what state would it be in? What with all the bombing there, and maybe worst Pettsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 9 August , 2006 Share Posted 9 August , 2006 Sadly as of January 2006 they were in a dreadful state having been virtually destroyed:~ This site shows the devastation @ that time,the damage was indiginent rather than bombing or military action,as you will see the Bronze work from the Cross of sacrifice has been looted.

Pettsy Posted 9 August , 2006 Author Share Posted 9 August , 2006 My great uncle is buried in North Gate. They died in the war, and they are buried in a war zone I wish I could bring them all back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
