Remy,

If you have some spare time, why not use your photography skills and put some photos on the "Find a Grave" site - http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gs& - along with the mens details ?

Iv'e "Adopted" my local cemetery and have stuck all the details up, just got to do the photo bit now.

If we all picked a cemetery and posted the details and photos up on the site, we would have a great resource on our hands.

Grant

[Adam Llewellyn]

Remy,

In your own time, there is no rush and if you can't get there, then its not a problem.

Thinking out load, is there any chance that you could list the cemeteries/memorials that you can get to.

Regards. Llew

[remy_of_62]

hello,

The photo of Calais Southern Cemetery + Les Baraques are done, for the ones who asks please send me a message with your e mail with the name and the cemetery concerned (if already done do not). I will send the photos during the week.

For the others: Boulogne will be done at the end of the week, the others next week. The same: send me message with e mail adress + photos you want.

For the list:

I can go with no problems to:

Calais Southern Cemetery

Les Baraques (Sangatte) Cemetery

Boulogne Eastern Cemetery

I already have the photos of: Oye-Plage Commonwealth (in communal cemetery) all Cemetery

I can manage to go to: Wimille ( TERLINCTHUN BRITISH CEMETERY), Wimereux, Etaples (but not now).

I can try to have the photos you need of every cemetery in North France: Bethune + Dunkerque +all the others but not shure it depends on if I knowsome friends there and if they can manage to go there. Ask me I will tell you.

For memorials can go all around the towns around Calais and Boulogne sur mer

Hello,

I've looked your list but all the cemeteries are far from my area, but I know some Australian graves in the cemeteries in my area but don't know if their are in the unit you are looking for.

I will but them on my website and will tell you when done and you will just have to look at it and ask if you are interested, then if I forget to say to you when its on my website (in 2 months) send me a message.
