I believe Category: Alamein Memorial, El Alamein, Egypt and Category: El Alamein War Cemetery, El Alamein, Egypt should be merged, as they refer to the same facility, as seen in the maps of their associated Find a Grave pages at https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2168923/alamein-memorial/map and https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/1966588/el-alamein-war-cemetery/map . Would another Project genealogist please check, and do the category merge if appropriate?

The memorial & the war cemetery are at the same location, but serve different purposes - the memorial is where those with no known grave are memorialised (long lists of names), the cemetery is for actual burials. Not sure if that is a material difference.
