Vandals Destroy Graves of World War II Diggers at the Albury War Cemetery, Australia

Posted by admin on Apr 1, 2009

The headstones on two graves at the Albury War Cemetery were smashed to pieces and another six were damaged during the attack, thought to have happened on Monday night.

Albury RSL President Mick Fowler said the callous attack had made him sick.

“When I first went there I was absolutely disgusted, I could see the damage from the roadway,” he said.

Mr Fowler said the graves that had been attacked belonged to soldiers who had served in WWII and had died between 1945 and 1947. All eight graves that were damaged were in the same row in the cemetery.
