simon2 Posted 10 February , 2016 Share Posted 10 February , 2016 Would any kind soul have a good overall picture of the memorial itself and the panel (236) which lists Pte John Smith SS/14037 ASC HMT 'Royal Edward' casualty please. This is for a work colleague who told me today of her family members story. She has alot of info on him just not the photos. Best regards, Simon.

Kath Posted 10 February , 2016 Share Posted 10 February , 2016 (edited) Simon, I'll have a look for the panel in my pictures. Has your colleague seen my website ? Kath. John Smith is on Panel 236. This panel has the last ASC names & the first RAMC names. It is rather weathered. If you contact me I can send a pic. There is a closed Facebook group - one of the members had the bright idea of using Streetview! https://www.google.com/maps/place/Helles+Memorial/@40.0457353,26.1799139,3a,75y,185.19h,90t%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DNkEViwpCBAiOTHBlK4OKZw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D183.9763%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656!4m2!3m1!1s0x14b04c4c4365d56d:0x957f62af4e81104!6m1!1e1 Edited 10 February , 2016 by Kath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbarchetta Posted 11 February , 2016 Share Posted 11 February , 2016 I have a brass plaque & flag that was presented to the people of Exeter (and your mayoress) from the Australian Commissioner thanking them for their hospitality to Australian troops passing through Exeter and Chris also kindly sent me a copy of his little card that you have on your site. Anyway, we digress... I take it you have now been able to furnish Simon with a photo? Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon2 Posted 13 February , 2016 Author Share Posted 13 February , 2016 Many thanks to all who responded. Due to long hours and lack of sleep I have been unable to do much else until now. I will send PM's to both Kath and Bob. Thanks again Simon. P.S. Kath that is a great website and I have forwarded the address to my work colleague as I think she would be very excited to look at it.
