  As you know, I've been to a few Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries in Egypt; I have to say that they are all in magnificent condition, in fact we met the Egyptian groundskeepers in all but one of the cemeteries we visited and they were all delighted that we had taken the trouble to visit. In return, I have to say that the state of upkeep was A1, completely beyond fault.
  
  Al Qantara (Kantara) was the best of the lot, and that's completely sand where the others were grassed.......and the staff there were quite superb, even kept the place open for us beyond opening hours whilst Brian Rowland looked for his Grandfather's grave.
  
  Here are a couple of photos of Al Qantara cemetery:
