Guest Posted 26 August , 2012 Share Posted 26 August , 2012 Thanks Andy If you have any specific headstones you would like photographed, let me know. It is a beautiful and fascinating cemetery with many stories, and I would be happy to help anyone wanting photographs. Kathi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Davies Posted 1 January , 2013 Share Posted 1 January , 2013 The words that moved me the most when I visited Beersheba in November 2008 were: FAREWELL DEAR HUSBAND YOU SLEEP WITH THE BRAVE IN A DISTANT LAND OVER THE FOAM I took a picture of the words (but can't for the life of me work out how to post a picture on here). Rather foolishly I did not take a shot of the entire headstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subject is Fred Fielding, John/Jack Fielding's brother, however John/Jack gets a mention and, importantly, is shown in a photo. Fred survived the War. Interestingly, (certainly to me) I've identified about half a dozen AIF fatalities from Rawtenstall to date.
