War Graves Abandoned By The British.

Damien McElroy spent a week in the heart of the insurgency in Anbar province in Iraq. In the fourth of five exclusive reports, he describes the destruction and neglect of an RAF base cemetery
There is a corner of Anbar that is forever England but it's in sad shape. A furious row is raging over whether or not that should be so. Security is at the heart of the matter.
American Marines on a former RAF airbase in western Iraq have criticised British neglect of the base cemetery. The Marines have given repeated assurances that it is safe to carry out restoration work within the camp but the official body that administers British war graves has spurned the invitation.

(RG) How can you expect the British Government to care about our War graves in Anbar, How would these men feel if they new their future soldiers had to beg steal and borrow clothing when injured to cover bodies?

Labour truly hates the Military.


Sleep safe in your beds
Il protect you abroad
The colours are flying
I’m ready my Lord
Just give me my gun
And a large shot of rum
Il lay baked white and dry
In the hot Anbar Sun.
