Three Remaining Headstones at Khanaqin War Cemetery, Iraq

From the fragments of three headstones held in the Diyala Museum museum in eastern Iraq, all that remains of the 545 WW2 burials at the Polish War Cemetery at Khanaqin in the Diyala region of Iraq, I have been able to identify the fallen. Two of the dead served with the Polish Army and one with the Indian Army. The men are Corporal Z Piechocki of 5. Baon. Sap, Rifleman J Lastowski of 5. Baon C. K. M. and Signalman Muhammad Juma of the Indian Signal Corps. In total, 400 Polish men, 102 Indian men and 3 Arabs were buried at Khanaqin.
