While tidying up my casualty paybook thread I thought I'd read the photos to this (as well as a few new ones) - sorry its a bit of a dump rather than an organised post - also some of these were posted direct so still show but I thought I may as well go the whole hog in adding these

The following photos came as a group and relate to the Gurkhas

Becklingen War Cemetery 1945 - looking at how the crosses are placed I'm guessing they were still completing the Cemetery at this point

A snapshot of an Italian field burial (so not quite a CWGC grave) of a British soldier - 4463869 G Whitfield 8th DLI 29/6/42 - the inscription matches his grave concentration report

 

An early photo of Tripoli War Cemetery, a few names visible, Smith RA, Bradford RAOC (Although the F seems to have got lost) & Oliver RAF as well as some unknown Sailors



The below 4 relate to a pair of Sailors Durant & Lavercombe who were killed at HMS Drake in Air Raids and are buried in Plymouth (Weson Mill) Cemetery - considering this is an established British Civilian cemetery rather than a field burial the ground looks really rough and not what I'd expect, almost like a quarry

 

Nederweert Cemetery (the Netherlands) & before it became the official cemetery. Graves were seperated around the region if I'm correct.
