sandybee49 Posted 20 February , 2015 Author Share Posted 20 February , 2015 Kensal Green (St Mary's RC) Hello Beth, I am visiting the Kensal Green (All Souls') Cemetery next week, to photograph two WW1 graves. This cemetery is next to the Roman Catholic Cemetery and if it doesn't take too long to locate my two (fingers crossed it doesn't take hours!) I will see what I can do for you. Are there 17 graves you want? CGM Hi, Your help if your time allows would be very much appreciated.

And there are only 14 in St Mary's. (There are 17 in All Soul's). Sorry about the confusion. CGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted 6 March , 2015 Share Posted 6 March , 2015 I have COARE and STONE and I will send them via your website. There are a lot of lichens partially obscuring COARE's name which water and a soft brush couldn't remove. We are not allowed to use more than this to clean CWGC stones so I will report this. In the mean time I have taken a close up of the name, as well as the full stone. I put a poppy cross on the Cross of Sacrifice for STONE, as his name is on the screen wall and have a photograph of this. I will not be going back to Kensal Green for some time so please accept any offer to photograph the graves in St. Mary's R.C. Cemetery which you may receive.

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 10 April , 2015 Share Posted 10 April , 2015 Hi Beth, Managed to get round to Glanadda cemetery, Bangor, North Wales yesterday, and eventually found the grave of Pte. John Doheny (aka. Sullivan) 4586. His unfortunate demise is covered on page 4 of this thread. If you would like a high res.(about 8mb each) copy of this image and the one in post #191, then please feel free to PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghazala Posted 10 April , 2015 Share Posted 10 April , 2015 What a beautiful headstone. Has it just been replaced by GWGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 10 April , 2015 Share Posted 10 April , 2015 Beth, It's quite a large cemetery, a few thousand graves I should think, with the CWGC stones scattered seemingly randomly aroun. But it only took about 15mins to cover it all to see all the white portland stone CWGC headstones there. Doheny was not amongst them! Then whilst I was considering my next move, I noticed that the he last portland stone I saw, had a slate CWGC stone next to it. This was the same size and shape as a portland headstone, so I deduced that Doheny's stone was also made of slate. I don't know about cemeteries in general, or worldwide, but 90% of gravestones in older cemeteries in Wales will be grey slate. So, it was a matter of looking around for the correct shape of stone. Eventually, I found it, and I must say it looks in first class condition, clean, with crisp engraving. I wonder if it's been replaced in the not too distant past. Here's a close up of the detail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 10 April , 2015 Share Posted 10 April , 2015 What a beautiful headstone. Has it just been replaced by GWGC. Hi Ghazala, Yes I think it probably has. I feel a bond to this poor unfortunate, who met his death only a few miles down the railway line from my childhood home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, So many thanks for the photos, your help is very much appreciated, they will up by the end of the day. Attended 2 services yesterday in readiness for Anzac Day, a few of the smaller towns hold their Anzac march the Sunday before the 25th, so that the servicemen & women can attend the main march & celebration in the city (Adelaide). So I have the dawn service next Saturday and then things will be a little quieter. Cheers Beth (sandybee49) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
