SFayers Posted 31 March , 2007 Share Posted 31 March , 2007 Excellent work Soren! I wonder from some of your ealier images of the ghosts of the dead visiting the Vimy Memorial etc. what the 'ghosts of the Mesopotamia Campaign' would make of the state of the Basra cemetery? Certainly makes me think of one of my granddad's second cousins, Thomas Philpott, who's buried there. cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soren Posted 1 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 1 April , 2007 Is there any type of memorial to the missing out there? I could probably do something with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably do something with that Hi Soren, Yes there is, the Basra Memorial - I think there are posts relating to this elswhere on the forum (and possibly links to some pictures). As I understand it Saddam had the memorial shifted stone by stone into the desert - it still exists as such but is in a heck of a state. cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
