Hi all,

This photo was taken in Crimea in 1942. Can someone confirm if these are German graves from WWI?


Cheers, Dave

If you scroll most of the way down on this page you'll see markers that look similar - but from a Ukrainian cemetery that was restored in the 1990s (?).

Thanks Ken. I believe now that these are Cossack graves from the late 18th century.

After a little googling I would agree that they look very much Cossack graves.
