Netley military cemetery

Afternoon!

I was wondering whether anyone lives near Netley Military Cemetery and would be prepared to take photos of three war graves? There's no particular rush - it's just that I am very unlikely to be anywhere near there any time soon.

I live in portsmouth, and could take the pics during July, not sure when, but definitely can do.

Hi

I might well be going there on the 15th and will take a photo if no-one else has done it.

Let me have the details,

You might well be there before me Bernie, as this coming weekend is already fully committed. Please post if you get there, and I will do the same to avoid duplication.

More than happy to oblige, but timing is uncertain. I'll be in touch if I make it before Bernie.

I think a group of Pals are planning to meet there soon. If anyone gets the pics in the meantime could they please post here.

I had already been in touch with Keith about my photo, but if someone else is going there too, maybe I can add my soldier to the list?

Sorry but a new camera and my now lack of mobility have produced some not very good shots - better than nothing but only just - will post them if nothing better turns up.

Folks, I haven't forgotten, but its now likely to be early August before I can pop in to netley. This is down to a mix of work and private commitments.

The weather looks fair, so I'll be off there in about half an hour. Perhaps those wanting pics could pm an email address to me.

I would also like to publicly thank Keith for taking the time to get these photographs. I really am very grateful Keith.
