I will be sure to pass on where the information was given and by who. Cheers, Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantowi Posted 3 April , 2010 Share Posted 3 April , 2010 Garry, Maybe the charity or yourself could "adopt" the cemetery and place the mens details (and any photos) on Find-A-Grave - http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gs& - it only takes a few minutes for each entry (and it's a free site to use ) Iv'e got a couple in my local cemetery, remembered on their parents headstones even though their sons remains are buried many miles away.

Just to make things clear this is in no way connected to the men named on my website, although your suggestions are much appreciated. Grant, I will have a word with the charity members with regards to uploading the photographs to the find a grave website. Cheers, Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantowi Posted 4 April , 2010 Share Posted 4 April , 2010 Garry, Good Man, if we all did our local cemetery, it will make a great resource. Cheers Grant I'm in no way connected to the Find-a Grave site apart from placing the fallen of both Wars who are buried in Swindon on the site, for others to find.
