cemeteries, although a little overgrown in places, are generally well tended.
I am grateful for the assistance given to me by the staff of the Urban Services Department, the Public Records Office and the Immigration Department, and by the Reverend Carl Smith in locating, and trying to locate these graves.
Among the work the RASHKB undertakes, including publishing journals and books, and organising lectures, and local and overseas visits, our Branch also undertakes a number of projects of varying types. Tracing or trying to trace the above seven graves is just one example. By working together with BACSA the RASHKB was also able to provide a community service.
