If you click on the cemetery at the botom of the war graves page
there is a full explanation there. Thanks for that. As luck
would have it, I had read the note which says: The North Gate
Cemetery was begun In April 1917 and has been greatly enlarged
since the end of the First World War by graves brought in from
other burial grounds in Baghdad and northern Iraq, and from
battlefields and cemeteries in Anatolia where Commonwealth
prisoners of war were buried by the Turks. At present, 4,160
Commonwealth casualties of the First World War are commemorated
by name in the cemetery, many of them on special memorials.
While it tells me what the above notes say in my previous posts,
it doesn't give me any information as to the why. There doesn't
seem to be a distinct policy here unless by treaty, the Turks
would not have foreign military cemeteries on the Anatolian
heartland because they exist at Gallipoli. Even if we looked at
Anatolia as a descrete unit, it doesn't explain why there are
3,236 French graves at Morto B
