That photograph was taken several years ago after the cemetery had been cleaned up by a group of people from the UK. It is located near a village, some inhabitants of which were presumed to have vandalised it earlier. Whether or not the cemetery and Freddie Roberts' grave are still so pristine I cannot say.
