HC Deb 07 December 1954 vol 535 c30W
86. Mr. H. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for War when memorial headstones will be erected on graves of deceased British Service men at the Military Cemetery at Fayid, as promised to parents of such Service men.

Mr. F. Maclean

I understand that my hon. Friend is referring to the graves of men who have died since the war. Permanent headstones for all these graves are on order, and should be delivered this month. I hope that they will be shipped in January and they will be erected as soon as they reach Egypt.

87. Mr. H. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps he is taking to ensure that all graves of deceased British Service men at the Military Cemetery at Fayid will be tended and maintained after the completion of our evacuation of Egypt.

Mr. F. Maclean

Arrangements are being made with the Imperial War Graves Commission for the graves of those who have died since the war to be cared for with the war graves in the adjoining cemetery for which the Commission is already responsible.
