regimentalrogue Posted 11 April , 2009 Share Posted 11 April , 2009 As part of an ongoing project on The Royal Canadian Regiment in the First World War, I'm seeking a few gravestone photos from each cemetery of RCR soldiers who are recorded as casualties of the War. I have a list of 177 cemeteries that hold RCR war dead, these are listed here, and a Google map of their locations can be found here. The UK cemeteries I'm looking for photos from are listed below. I would appreciate any help if members are local to these cemeteries or may already have photos in their files. I don't need a high resolution shot, as I'm posting the photos in a 300-pixel wide format, as shown here. Even a cell phone photo would be appreciated. Please let me know how you would like to be attributed for the photo once posted on line. Photos can be mailed to me at regimentalrogue@gmail.com.

I think most of those cemetries are on my list of ones to visit for my own purposes! If you get them before I go not to worry Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judy7007 Posted 16 April , 2009 Share Posted 16 April , 2009 Hi I have been to Croydon (Mitcham Road) Cemetery today and will soon email you the photo of the gravestone of Sgt Wilkinson. It was an interesting visit as the CWGC reference is not correct and the office staff at the Cemetery were very interested and very helpful and showed me the original book entry from 1919 and eventually they identified the grave position. I will scan the revised cemetery details and email it along with the photo Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
