    There was more detail to this monument,

    but due to it being such a bright sunny day

    there was no way I could get clear pictures,

    So an excuse to make a return visit in the future.

    I took individual pictures of the approximatly

    96 French Christian Graves and 35 Muslim Graves,

    Looking at the spaces between the graves I suspect

    some were exhumed and returned to France in the

    years between the original burials and 2010.
