Commemorative Information -
Cemetery: ALAMEIN MEMORIAL, Egypt
Grave Reference/Panel Number: Column 2.
Location: The Alamein Memorial forms the entrance to the El Alamein
War Cemetery. Alamein is a village, bypassed by the main coast road,
approximately 130 kilometres west of Alexandria on the road to Mersa
Matruh. The first Commission road direction sign is located just beyond
the Alamein police checkpoint and all cemetery visitors should turn off
from the main road onto the parallel old coast road. The cemetery lies
off the road beyond the ridge, and road direction signs are in place
approximately 25 metres before the low metal gates and stone wing
walls which are situated centrally at the road edge at the head of the
access path into the cemetery. The Cross of Sacrifice feature may be
seen from the road.-
Born London, residence Southampton. Died Middle East
There appears to be no reason at all why his name appears on the
memorial and as co-ordinator of the research group, I am interested to
know if you can give me any information at all about Lt Macleod who
appears, from my reading of your Clan history, to be descended from the
Lewis side of your Clan.
