    Similar to St.Sepulchre Cemetery: A Christian cemetery with c114+ CWGC-maintained graves - many of which have been recently renovated to a very high standard. My purpose in visiting this cemetery is twofold: To observe the improvements to the numerous graves - as initiated by the CWGC; Wherever possible, to produce images of the graves such that they can be distributed amongst interested individuals/groups....LEST WE FORGET ! note: 16 images attached (resized)

    My sincere THANKS to M.S.BAHANWAL (Manager - Kirkee War Cemetery) and all members of his staff...SALUD!

    Images now available include:
    1. Images of all c114+ CWGC-maintained WW1 graves
    2. Memorial dedicated to 5 regiments and c100+ names
    3. General images of the cemetery itself

    All above images are now available - FREE - to family members, relatives, researchers and historians. When asked, I normally suggest that you make a donation to a Forces Charity of your own choice.

    Equally, all images - posted/distributed by me - are not to be used for commercial and/or financial gain. If in doubt, contact me - Thank You.

    Hi

    As before, I would like to publicly thank Tony for all the hard work he does providing these images which we would never have a chance of seeing or
    adding to our research.

    Many thanks,

    Graeme

    Hello there, Am wondering if you have a photo of the grave of Sgt John Edward Page who died 20.10.1943. He was with the 9th Btn Royal Sussex and I believe he was killed at Aundh Ranges when a shell fell short during battle innoculation training. He is buried in Kirkee according to CWGC. Many thanks.

    I don't think Tony has the Kirkee War Cemetery I think this is just the old Caldecott Rd Cemetery which the CWGC are reinstating? Most buried here were commemorated on the Memorial as their graves were initially deemed unmaintainable .
