Earlier this year, slightly confused, ... somehow I thought that ANZAC day was at the end of January, so I went to the ANZAC cemetery at Harefield in west London. I took a few photos, which show just how impressive and well cared-for the graveyard is. It is adjacent to the main graveyard of a large church, and it is quite surprising how higgledy-piggledy the main graveyard is, and how neat and immaculate the ANZAC part is.
The graveyard is dedicated to those who were sent to the Harefield Hospital during The Great War for rest and recuperation. There are approx 100-150 graves in the graveyard. The headstones are all neatly lined-up, as if the old soldiers were still on parade.
Very sobering afternoon for me. I didn't take any details of individual headstones, just a few general pics, but as it's not too far away I could always do a return visit.
