There are almost 12000 people buried here – approx. 8000 unidentified/unnamed. Many aged 19/20 too – so not much younger than I am now!

It is quite moving to walk through and see the number of headstones, before realising that many of the people here may still to this day not have been identified – with each one a family back home not knowing what has happened.

Just in case you can’s read the text in the image below…

Their name liveth forever.
