The British presence at RAF Habbaniyah ended in 1959. Or more to the point the living presence ended then.
The Commonwealth War Cemetery of Habbaniyah, Iraq, is the final resting place of 289 Commonwealth Servicemen and civilians, including women and children. 257 of them are from WWII.
During the intervening years, unlike most other War Cemeteries, Habbaniyah was both neglected and deliberately vandalised. A group of Ghurkas and US servicemen under former Sgt Maj Terry Pearson QO Highlanders, have been restoring Habbaniyah Cemetery.
Dave of Cabarfeidh has posted this on you tube detailing their efforts.
Thank you, gentlemen.

Very moving, nice to see so many different Nations working together. It’s good to see good news coming from Iraq for a change.
They’re Anglo servicemen. They’re from the same family regardless of what their current respective governments are up to.
There’s lots more like this but you didn’t see this on TV1 either.
Just found this sight. The sad thing about this is that there are Military personnel that are telling all that will listen that they done this and they done that. No one done this for any praise or glory, they done it because it was the right thing to do. If the person is out there looking at this, you know all you done was PICK UP A TWIG, and so dose every one else that was there.
