Highgate Cemetery this morning. Didn’t manage to find the grave of Sir Archibald Murray, commander of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force 1916-17, but did spot a number of Commonwealth War Graves.

Another buried there is Dr Isobel Addy Tate, who served with the Serbian Relief Fund before contracting typhoid and returning to the UK. She later died of illness while working at the Valletta Military Hospital in Malta attached to the Royal Army Medical Corps.

Imtarfa Military Cemetery near Mdina, where the burials range from pre-First World War to post-Second World War. Some of the gravestones display bomb damage sustained during attacks on the nearby RAF Ta Kali airfield during the Second World War.

Birthday morning well-spent visiting the Lascaris War Rooms, which served as the advance Allied HQ during Operation Husky. As well as the tunnels themselves, the Operation Husky exhibition is very well-done and filled with interesting artefacts.
