This happened last July in Benghazi Commonwealth War Cemetery, and all the damage has since been replaced.

Indeed it has Lee, and good that the CWGC work hard to maintain & repair them. Yes even in the UK War Graves have been discrated at times, in Harrogate the Book of Remberance was set on fire a few years back, a a small number of plots had spray paint on them.
