Mat McLachlan Posted 5 October , 2004 Share Posted 5 October , 2004 Hi all, As part of the ongoing expansion of my site, I am in the process of adding an online guide to Australian WWI war cemeteries. The database is in its infancy at the moment, but will grow over time. So far I have listed all Australian cemeteries in Belgium and Gallipoli, with expanded information on seven of the Belgian cemeteries. Feel free to check it out at www.diggertours.com (click on Visiting the Battlefields). Cheers, Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 5 October , 2004 Share Posted 5 October , 2004 Mat If it helps, I can supply you with a spreadsheet showing all Australian war graves (numbers, location, unknowns etc) worldwide. The latest numbers from CWGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat McLachlan Posted 5 October , 2004 Author Share Posted 5 October , 2004 Terry, That would be great. At the moment I am relying on an old spreadsheet the Australian War Memorial supplied, so some up-to-date information would be appreciated. My email address is mat@*diggertours.com (remove '*' to send me an email) Cheers, Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted 24 October , 2004 Share Posted 24 October , 2004 JM Thanks for those links. Among the photos you have taken at Toronto Avenue Cemetry do you have one for No.1865a Pte John Stannen Luff, Grave Ref A.35 of the 33rd Battalion AIF? Luff from Fremantle in Western Australia, was originally in the 2nd Reinforcements to the 44th Battalion but when in England about 60 men of this reinforcement group were transferred to the 33rd & 34th Battalions. I have his WW1 letters at home and am working on his story. Regards Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
