Hello

The plaques are Charles Herbert Edgar Carter and his brother

William George Carter

Ian

Hi Ian

Thanks for the clarification. Thought that's what you meant but for one moment wondered if you meant Harry Brazil. Thought all my Christmases had come at once!

I bet kaisersoffensive is ecstatic!!! Great news

Regards

Keith

Hello Keith

I think we are both at an impass on this one.

I have the medals and would so dearly love the accompanying plaque.

Little did I know that he had a brother who was sadly also a casualty.

Coldstreamer has the plaques and quite naturally would like ownership of the medals.

I am delighted in the knowledge that these items exist and are in good hands if not mine!

Judgement of Solomon overd the baby needed on this one.

Have a nice day out.

Regards,

Bob

We are also aiming to visit:

Brandhoek, Essex Farm, Tyne Cot, Brooding Soldier, Sanctuary Wood, Hell Fire Corner and Menin Gate for "last post".

Keith would love a photo of each of these Aussies, but only if you have time, mate.

Hi to all who made photo requests regarding our trip to Ypres yesterday.

We managed to take every phot requested, will take a while for me to sort them all out.

I will then do an individual reply to each of you with the photos requested as soon as I have resized them to meet post size requirements

For anyone who has seen the post I made with the original photo of the grave of H. Brazil (see link on page 1of this topic) below is how it is today.

post-7097-1118577757.jpg

Special thanks to Brian 90 - who did all the driving and duplicated most of the photos as a back up in case I mucked up with the new camera and who knew his way around.

Emotional - don't start me off again. Anyone with dry eyes at Menin Gate just can't understand!!!!

Keith and Brian, I'm glad that you had a good visit. What a great service you did to Pals by managing to take so many photos for other people while you were there for such a short time. I'm not one of the recipients of your excellent photos, but I just want to say that I appreciate the efforts you went to. You did a great act of friendship there.

Thanks for those kind words Tom. We have both benefited from the vast knowledge pals like you have and are prepared to share and help us novices. We can only hope that one day we may be able to help others with information but in the meantime "every little helps" as they say in the ads!!!!!!!

For those of you still waiting for photos of panels at Tyne Cot and Menin Gate, they were taken but I have not had chance to resize them yet for posting, this week is a bit hectic. Get my long service medal tomorrow night.

See how I spend the majority of my spare time in my profile.

Keith :rolleyes:

Keith/Brian,

I would just like to mirror Tom's comments.

This is what the Forum is all about and you should be congratulated on it.

I was really glad to see that you had a great trip and hope that you get to make more visits in the future. You never know, we may meet up one day.

Regards

PAUL JOHNSON :)
