Thanks Clive,

You're a champion...I'll hunt down the Death Certificate.

As I'd mentioned, I only have a photocopy of him.

But it's pretty cool, he's wearing a Bandolier.

Cheers

Readers of this topic might be interested in what Jean Letaille has just sent me......an artists impression of what will be the Australian Museum 1914/1918 at Bullecourt .....scheduled for completion & opening in November 2012.

Hope that they will make some mention of the British Regiments whose troops bravely fought alongside their troops at Bullecourt as well. thumbsup.png

Thanks for the nice comments.......could post more pictures from Bullecourt particularly of the Museum & items contained therein. Will do so over the w/e but the trouble with the GWF forum is that you have to resize images to below 100k which takes a great deal of time. The Manchester forum for example allows for bigger images that is useful for contributors without a great deal of time!

I have fantastic pictures of the few cemeteries I visited where my family members are commemorated - Tyne Cot & Poelkapelle British cemetery. I also have pictures of cemeteries 'off the 'beaten track' where my grandfathers pals are buried from the Manchester Regiment ie. Euston Road @ Colincamps & Achiet-le-Grande.

Needless to say I could post Menin Gate& Ypres images but this has probably been done?

Other places 'off the beaten track' include The Trench of Death at Dikesmude, nearby German & Belgium WW1 cemeteries & a German Bunker near Polygon Wood. Places more well known are Hill 60, Beaumont Hamel, Thiepval, Deville Wood & Villiers-Bretonneux.

If you have certain desires of particular images to see will do my best .....................how about booking me for a future Battlefield Tour that I will now host & run....only joking!!!!! biggrin.gif

Hi Gladiator,

Thanks for your post. I was wondering if I could use some of your pictures for a you tube project I have been undertaking. I can be contacted on danjones111@yahoo.com

I was after a recent picture of the battleground today looking back towards the Aust lines from the Hindenburg line around where the Clarkson tank and 16th Battalion entered the line

regards

Visited the Museum again in June 2015 ... it has changed significantly since the death of Jean Letaille with the Australian involvement. Very well done .... I post some current images .... there was a lovely girl called Aurelie who welcomed visitors & my visit was enhanced with a good audio tour explaining aspects of the Bullecourt battles.
