Village School Commemoration Project 2024. All help gratefully accepted.

[temptage]

It's that time of year again when I seek help from fellow members.

Once again, I have volunteered to be the chief-photo-hunter-gatherer for a village school commemoration project. We have already managed to accrue several photos from the original list of 55 men, so I will list the remaining locations in France and Belgium where headstone photos or Memorial photos are still needed.

If sanyone says they can help with any of the locations, I will provide them with the casualties' information therein.

Photos may be used in a future publication for the School, so full acknowledgement will be given, if required.

Belgium

La Clytte Military Cemetery
Spoilbank Cemetery
Coxyde Military Cemetery (WW2 grave)
Ration Farm Annexe
Menin Gate (Panel 21)      hopefully someone already has a panel photo as currently inaccessible

France

Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery
St Sever Cemetery
Bronfay Farm Military Cemetery
Loos British Cemetery
Arras Memorial (Panels 1 and 4)
Duisans British Cemetery
Lapugnoy Military Cemetery
Cambrai Memorial (Panel 4 and 5)
Roclincourt Military Cemetery
St Venant-Robecq Road British Cemetery
Vimy Memorial
Vis-en-Artois Memorial (Panel 3)
Le Touret Memorial (Panel 8 and 9)
Cambrin Military Cemetery

and the one that has so far eluded me that I can't find any photos from.......ANYWHERE!!! Grrrrrrrr!

Landrecies British Cemetery

 

Over the years, many of you have helped me enormously with my 6 projects I was, and still am, working on, and for that I thank you, but then you will also know of my exactly standards of how I wish photos to be taken. Yes, it's a pain in the ar*e, but I know how I want my photos to look. The main thing is the photo/s to be as high resolution as possible, which makes them so much easier to edit if needed.

All help will be so much appreciated. The photo/s may be used in a publication. If that happens, then full acknowledgement will be given.

Thank you, merci, bedankt and danke.

Can do Loos, Lapugnoy,, Le Touret and Cambrin. Possibly the Arras cemetery and memorial. Unfortunately ,we won’t be going to Landrecies as we’re following 2 Corps on our retreat next month. I may have a photo from previous trips there, you never know.
