temptage Posted 1 January , 2013 Share Posted 1 January , 2013 Could I ask if you have a photograph of the headstone for the following http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/654034/MITCHELL,%20JAMES as he belongs to a very special group of individuals that I am researching. Fingers crossed Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeldr Posted 2 March , 2013 Author Share Posted 2 March , 2013 Quote from post No. 17 But still I managed to prove my fallibility: apologies to Bob as Daubney seems to be missing, and to Llew as Moss has also been overlooked this time. [Old age setting in I suppose] As you will no doubt remember, I have some unfinished business at Ramleh There is also at least one new request from Tony: MITCHELL, JAMES Rank: PrivateService No: 9191 Date of Death: 22/12/1917 Regiment/Service: British West Indies Regiment 1st Bn. Grave Reference AA. 71 I hope to get around to visiting Ramleh again in the near future and will be happy to accommodate any other requests. As previously, the tech. age means low/nil costs, however a donation to the GWF is always welcome Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temptage Posted 12 March , 2013 Share Posted 12 March , 2013 Do you have a specific list of SAD photos, as I am trying my hardest to collect all of them......287 and counting, so I only have another 59 to collect. I have 27 more on the way for certain so the numbers are dwindling all the time. They shall all be put on my website in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeldr Posted 13 April , 2013 Author Share Posted 13 April , 2013 Yesterday was a lovely spring morning at Ramleh. Not too hot and plenty of colours still to be seen: a credit to the hard work of the CWGC staff here. This oasis of peace and tranquillity, in an increasingly industrialised area, is also enjoyed by the birds and I was pleased to see a Jay and a Smyrna Kingfisher, as well a the usual crows and sparrows.

Standard Bearer Posted 20 September , 2014 Share Posted 20 September , 2014 I know you went to Ramleh war cemetery a while back but do you know of anyone visiting again as I would very much like to get a photo of my great grandfathers grave for my mum. Courtesy of a very kind visitor to Ramleh War Cemetery a few years ago, I have some headstone photographs. If you would like to post your great grandfather's details, I'll check to see if I can help.
