South Africa War Graves Project

[southafricawargraves]

Hi all,

First I'd just like to thank all that have helped make the South Africa War Graves Project a success thus far! Most notably the SAWGP UK National Coordinator - Rupert Drake. Rupert has truly gone above and beyond the call of duty in the UK, snapping pix, organizing volunteers and handling immense amounts of emails every day regarding the project.

We (SAWGP) started archiving photographs only a short time ago but already we have gathered 1564 commerations! These include headstones and names on memorials. One country has been completed - Syria, and we have made great progress in many more most notably from members in the UK and Belguim helping us there.

If you haven't already had a chance to look at the site you can do so here:

I'm still revamping the site so please be patient if some of the pages appear as under construction.

Once again, I'd like to thank each and every volunteer that has contributed to the project's success thus far. We couldn't have done it without you! You have ensured that the sacrifice of these men and women will never be forgotten.

Evening Chums,

Here's a current list of outstanding War Grave Cemeteries for the UK for which we are still open to offers from volunteers. This last month has seen a very good response with significant progress made as Ralph indicates in the post above.

If you feel able to contribute photographs from any of these sites please contact through the website.http://www.southafricawargraves.org/photo.htm
