My thanks to John McCreadie for the photos on this thread as of today's date (4th June 2009).

There are a number of graves still to be photographed which I will hopefully add at a later date.

From the CWGC:

Glasgow (Cardonald) Cemetery contains 161 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, including 2 unidentified seamen, a number of them forming a war graves plot in Section E. This plot also contains one non-war service burial and 38 war graves of other nationalities, many of them made from the prisoner-of-war camp at Johnstone Castle, just outside Glasgow.

Total number of unidentified casualties: 198
