On Sunday we held the annual service of Remembrance at Enfidhah war cemetery betweenTunis and Sousse.
Each year it is an important occasion to remember those who have died in conflicts around the world. And it is in particular a time to honour those who died in the Tunisia campaign of 1942-1943, where the two parts of the North Africa campaign came together. Over one and a half thousand soldiers are buried at Enfidhah alone, where the fighting was concentrated in the final months of the campaign. Many more are buried in other cemeteries around Tunisia.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission does a superb job of maintaining the cemeteries and helping visitors looking for the graves of lost relatives.
