He is most interesting to talk to and took evident pride in his job.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-26170875460537521272020-05-06T07:02:38.023+01:002020-05-06T07:02:38.023+01:00Sadly forgotten in the public consciousness.Sadly forgotten in the public consciousness.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-19895445191508754382020-05-06T07:02:02.098+01:002020-05-06T07:02:02.098+01:00I do like the sepia photos very much.I do like the sepia photos very much.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-46629341255385474072020-05-06T07:01:27.259+01:002020-05-06T07:01:27.259+01:00That sounds an interesting project, what scale was...That sounds an interesting project, what scale was that in?tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-2093637170634181802020-05-05T20:58:30.758+01:002020-05-05T20:58:30.758+01:00Fascinating book (and the carrier camouflage) - lo...Fascinating book (and the carrier camouflage) - looked up the Keren Cemetery CWGC website which has interesting account of the campaign https://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/2026502/keren-war-cemetery/<br />and<br />https://www.ww2cemeteries.com/eri-keren-war-cemetery.htmlMark, Man of TINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485063133593455522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-22455113468017219172020-05-05T12:57:55.081+01:002020-05-05T12:57:55.081+01:00I lived and worked for 3 years in Eritrea and live...I lived and worked for 3 years in Eritrea and lived in Asmara, I worked at the US Embassy. A fascinating and beautiful country. the campaign would have been very hard as the terrain of the battlefields around Karen are mountainous and rocky, I have walked over part of it. The British cemetery in Keren is very well kept up.
