Benghazi War Cemetery to be fully restored
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission will make good the damage inflicted last week at the Benghazi War Cemetery in Libya. We are awaiting a detailed report but it seems dozens of headstones and a cross of sacrifice were damaged in the attack. The cemetery will be restored to a standard befitting the sacrifice of those commemorated at Benghazi, but it could take some time to provide replacement stones. We will also need to be sure that it’s safe for the detailed work to be carried out, but in the meantime we will ensure that temporary markers are erected over the graves. We have no reports of any maintenance staff being injured in the attack.
