War Graves in Africa
A map of the area where New Zealanders have been buried in the desert has been sent by Driver Max Metzger to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. Metzger, of Winton, Southland. The map was used by Driver Metzger during his work in the desert, and it covers the area where the New Zealanders were most hotly attacked, the eastern part of Oyrenaica. As a result of inquiries made from the War Graves organisation, ho learned that many New Zealanders who had been hastily buried in shallow graves had been reinterred in special cemeteries. One is at Sidi Rezegli, which is about 55 miles west of Bardia and about 18 miles southwest of Tobruk.
