The Medjez-El-Bab Memorial

The Memorial, which was designed by Sir Hubert Worthington, OBE, RA, FRIBA, and built by the Imperial, later The Commonwealth War Graves Commission, stands in the Medjez-el-Bab War Cemetery. The War Cemetery, three miles outside the town of the same name, is about forty miles to the south-west of Tunis and is set in a beautiful countryside with hills on two sides.

On the piers and walls of these pergolas are inscribed the names of the 1959 missing soldiers whom the Memorial commemorates, together with these words:

The Memorial was unveiled on the 16^th November 1957.
