HC Deb 09 June 1920 vol 130 cc386-7
12. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Secretary of State for India what action has been taken for the preservation of British and Indian soldiers' graves in Mesopotamia?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

The Directorate of Graves Registration and Enquiries is still working in Mesopotamia completing the work of registration and identification. A scheme for the concentration of graves into main cemeteries where they can be properly cared for is under consideration. An architect of the Imperial War Graves Association has just returned from a visit to that country and his proposals for the treatment and design of the cemeteries are actually under discussion.
