Corporal Harry Potter, a member of the Royal Worcestershire regiment, was killed 66 years ago during fighting in the southern West Bank town of Hebron and was subsequently laid to rest in a cemetery in the town of Ramle.

“Every day, tourists and visitors come wanting to see Harry’s grave,” the cemetery’s custodian, Ibrahim Huri, told the paper.
