QSAMIKE Offline Senior Member Posts: 5799 Thank you received: 1879	Elmarie...... I have to echo Brett's comments and ask a question..... Are these the names of all the men who were buried in Intombi Cemetary or do they still have individual headstones??? Mike Life Member Past-President Calgary Military Historical Society O.M.R.S. 1591
