Andrew P Posted 3 January , 2005 Share Posted 3 January , 2005 Hi Robbie I'd be interested to know the names of these veterans if you have a spare minute. Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 3 January , 2005 Share Posted 3 January , 2005 There are two WW1 war graves and one WW2 war grave in Jilliby Cemetery. You can get these names off the CWGC site. However, that will not give you any other veterans outside the war periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had already done that, but was curious to know if the names of Robbie's 5 differed with those 3 the CWGC mentioned. Those cemetery reports are a very helpful function.
