Site of Ancient Carthage Found Beneath Tunis Cemetery
Workmen uncover graves of Roman soldiers at the site for a new American cemetery outside Tunis for World War II dead. Harold A. Keats of the Battle Monuments Commission says the plot overlies ancient Carthage with Roman weapons and coins evidence. About 5,000 to 6,000 Americans to be buried in Tunis, with others shipped home. The overseas plan totals 42 million dollars, with chapels planned at each site. The United Nations cemetery at Pusan will host both American and other nationalities.
