Memorial Day 2010 at North Africa Cemetery in Tunisia - AFRICOM
AFRICOM's Vince Crawley leads a quick tour through a major World War II military cemetery in Tunisia.
CARTHAGE, Tunisia - Less than a mile from the 2,000-year-old ruins of ancient Carthage, Tunisian groundskeepers were working Friday, May 28, 2010, under a bright Mediterranean sun to prepare for Memorial Day observances to honor the 2,841 Americans buried in Carthage, as well as the thousands more who gave their lives in the North Africa campaigns of World War II that laid the bloody groundwork for the Allied liberation of Europe.
Surrounded by fig, cypress and eucalyptus trees, the North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial lies in a quiet open space on Roosevelt Road, between the Tunis airport and the tourist beaches, arts boutiques and historic ruins of the Tunisian coast.
The grounds total about 27 acres, with a burial area about the size of four football or soccer fields, bounded on one side by the Wall of the Missing that includes 3,724 names. Bells from the cemetery's chapel play patriotic anthems, The Battle Hymn of the Republic and America the Beautiful, while calls to prayer from nearby mosques echo among the graves. The cemetery is easy to spot on Internet satellite maps -- due east of Tunis airport, it is the rectangle of bright green kikuyu grass that stands out against the darker olive-colored vegetation. Zooming in shows the orderly rows of crosses and Stars of David, all facing to the southeast.
Abdallah Lagahre, a stone mason whose job is to tend the grave markers, quietly spent several hours in the Friday afternoon heat refreshing the gold leaf on the headstone of Private Nicholas Minue, the single Medal of Honor recipient buried in Carthage.

AFRICOM: Memorial Day 2011 in Tunisia
On Sunday, May 29, 2011, the superintendant and staff at the North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial spent the day placing Tunisian and American flags before each of the more than 2,800 headstones and making other preparations for Memorial Day, when Americans honor those who have fallen while wearing the nation's uniform.
To me, this is the way we honor the soldiers who are buried here, [by] maintaining this site in an impeccable manner, said Carlos Castello, superintendant of the Cemetery and Memorial. Castello, a former U.S. soldier, is a member of the American Battle Monuments Commission, a federal organization that maintains American military monuments and cemeteries around the world, predominantly World War I and World War II cemeteries in Europe and the Pacific.

Tunisian Victory - Complete
(17 May 1943) The drive of the First Army on to Tunis by way of Massienuit was the success that completed the defeat of the enemy in Tunisia. With the support of the Allied Air Power which smashed the Luftwaffe in the air and on the ground. ® ® As the First Army neared Tunis the prisoners began coming in and at the town high ranking German officers gave themselves up. The welcome in Tunis was one of extraordinary joy but whilst the celebrating was going on small pockets of resistance still had to be dealt with.

Massicault War Cemetery is approximately 30 kilometres south-west of Tunis on Route GP5 to Medjez-el-Bab. GPS Co-ordinates: N 36° 43' 12, E 09° 54' 44
In May 1943, the war in North Africa came to an end in Tunisia with the defeat of the Axis powers by a combined Allied force. The campaign began on 8 November 1942, when Commonwealth and American troops made a series of landings in Algeria and Morocco. The Germans responded immediately by sending a force from Sicily to northern Tunisia, which checked the Allied advance east in early December. Meanwhile, in the south, the Axis forces defeated at El Alamein were withdrawing into Tunisia along the coast through Libya, pursued by the Allied Eighth Army. By mid April 1943, the combined Axis force was hemmed into a small corner of north-eastern Tunisia and the Allies were grouped for their final offensive. Many of those buried at Massicault War Cemetery died in the preparation for the final drive to Tunis in April 1943 and in that advance at the beginning of May. The cemetery contains 1,576 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 130 of them unidentified.
