swizz Posted 6 August , 2008 Share Posted 6 August , 2008 Hi everyone I hope to visit Giavera CWGC cemetery and memorial: http://www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_detail...0000&mode=1 and also Tezze CWGC cemtery: http://www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_detail...0200&mode=1 ...this weekend and I'd be happy to take photographs of particular graves or names for anyone here. Leave the details on this thread and I'll do what I can. My last forum visit will probably be Friday morning so I won't see any posts after that. I can send the photos on when I'm back in a couple of weeks. Let me know! Swizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clive_hughes Posted 21 August , 2008 Share Posted 21 August , 2008 This is just a public thank-you to swizz for getting these excellent shots from Italy. The locations look both beautiful and picturesque, the grounds are evidently very well cared for. Gratefully, LST_164 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
