robbie Posted 16 May , 2005 Share Posted 16 May , 2005 Jim, Did I send you this photo of Nellie Spindler's gravestone? I took it while on the recent Pal's trip. Regards Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 16 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 16 May , 2005 Thanks Robbie. Nellie was a true casualty who died from shrapnel that seemed to have passed through her body from front to back near the heart. All gave some. Some gave all. Nellie fell into the latter group.

Jim Strawbridge Posted 25 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 25 June , 2005 Another summer coming up. More people needed who are flitting off on their hols and willing to take some photographs for me. Or, indeed, where you live now that the sun has come out. I am preparing a register of WW1 serving female casualties. I want to include as many photographs of their grave headstones as possible. Let me know if you can help and I will give details as to what is in the locality. Please respond. ps sorry, I forgot that some antipodeans may be reading this. It's your winter approaching but I still need a few photo down there and I don't mind if they are snow laden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 25 June , 2005 Share Posted 25 June , 2005 I am still certainly willing to run over to Arlington for anyone, and other locations nearby. Not really headed out of town this summer, but what I can do around here I am more than willing to contribute. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 25 June , 2005 Author Share Posted 25 June , 2005 Thank you, Myrtle, for coming direct. I have sent my requirements to you. And Andigger, You have already fulfilled my needs at Arlington and been very helpful. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest birdflightless Posted 25 June , 2005 Share Posted 25 June , 2005 Jim, Do you require a picture of the headstone of Worker, 6886, Amy Coote Galley, Q.M.A.A.C, died 18/10/18, aged 21, intered in St. Mary's, Great Henny, Essex. I visit my parents every weekend nearby, so it is an easy one for me. Regards Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted 13 July , 2005 Share Posted 13 July , 2005 Hi Jim, What a great project! I don't know how many you need in Ontario, but send me the lot if you like and I'll see what I can do. Certainly any in/near Ottawa I can probably get. I will also be traveling in the Toronto area later in the summer. MJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boreenatra Posted 15 July , 2005 Share Posted 15 July , 2005 Jim. Thanks for the reply re Florence Annie Conybeare. Found this today in Manor Park Cemetery. Please email me with anything you need London/ Essex. Regards Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 17 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 17 July , 2005 Steve, I have sent you my "wants" seperately. I see from another post that you have just been to the "City of London Cemetery" so I seem to have just missed your getting me one there. Thanks for the picture of the headstone of F.A. Willis. I needed this one and I had hoped that it would be a private one so that there would be some information on the headstone that would help me. She is one where I have very little information. All that I have is the CWGC information which is thin. All that I know is that she was a sister in the TNS, died on the 15th December 1919, was attached to the 4th London General Hospital and where she is buried. I don't know her first names, date of birth or where she came from. When I have finished my present line of research I shall have to concentrate some effort on her.

Boreenatra Posted 17 July , 2005 Share Posted 17 July , 2005 Jim. Thanks for the email the list came through fine, Though most of them are not in the area I'll see what I can do. It's not much help but there was no other Willis stones near to hers but it was in a area with stones of it's time i.e. 1890's to 1920. Regards Steve.

Jim Strawbridge Posted 16 October , 2005 Author Share Posted 16 October , 2005 AN UPDATE - Volunteers have continued to supply me with pictures of WW1 serving female casualty headstones. Terry has just supplied me with the last one at Brookwood so that large cemetery is now complete. Starting from the far South West the following counties are now finished. Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Dorset, Hampshire, East and West Sussex and Essex. I am indebted to the Pals from this Forum who have helped complete these. So now I am looking to spread further and I am looking for volunteeers to help me complete the following counties. If anyone can help please contact me and I will be pleased to provide names and grave locations.

Jim Strawbridge Posted 18 October , 2005 Author Share Posted 18 October , 2005 Rob, That would be super and see another county finished. The ladies are as follows :- COGGES Lucy HARRIS, WRAF, died 1/11/18 and is buried in St. Mary's churchyard. Sorry, no grave reference but hopefully a small churchyard. If you get a problem I will get a plan from the CWGC.
