Today I paid a visit to the "Old British Cemetery 1878" in Kyrenia.

▶ [ http://is.gd/hV5OG/Free_Map_of_Girne_(Government)_offices_etc ] Q-12-a.

A fine place to close the gate behind you, sit on the bench in the back and think about life. Recommended.

Sorry, typo: cemetary in the subject title should read cemetery.

Very peaceful place. Went there last Sept with my Father in Law so he could lay a wreath for the RAF boy entrants which he was once. I have been to quite a few War Cemeteries Flanders, Ypres ,Madingley Cambridge and over the years the Powers that Be do not seem to learn. If you go through all the wars 1ST & 2ND Cyprus, Iraq Afghanistan you look at these memorials and most of the names on these memorials are young lads between the age of 18 and 25. What a wicked waste of life
